介绍:
China has achieved a major milestone in its space program and historic first for human space exploration. China’s lunar rover touched down last night on the far side of the moon. The first-ever soft landing on the far side.
These are the earliest pictures now coming in from the rover, an up-close look that we have never seen before, and a monumental advancement for the Chinese.
This is as much about geopolitics as it is about space exploration and science. China has space ambitions. Its space program is growing. It’s trying to catch up to Russia and the United States.
So today’s landing is a milestone. And this is causing some unease in the United States. So what we’re seeing is a space race between two of the world’s super powers playing out above all of us as we speak.
中国在航空航天事业上取得了一个重大的里程碑，在人类航天探索上取得了历史上第一次的成就。中国的月球探测车昨天晚上在月球的另外一面着陆。这是第一次在月球的另外一面软着陆。
这些是来自月球探测车的最早的照片，也是人类历史上第一次如此近距离地看一下月球的另外一面，这对中国人来说是一个巨大的突破。
这既是地缘政治学的问题，也是太空探索和科学的问题。中国是有太空野心的国家。中国正在大力发展太空计划，旨在赶上美国和俄罗斯。
所以今天的着陆是一个里程碑。这在美国引起了一些不安。我们所看到的是两个世界超级大国之间的太空竞赛，就在我们说话的时候，这场竞争正在我们所有人面前展开。
