9、” Thats the voice more than 400,000 people received recently. It was from Philae, a space vehicle that landed on a comet in 2014. However, its transmissions (传送信号) back home went silent since then. It took a long time for Philae to make its way across the solar system and reach comet 67P/C-G. The sp
10、ace vehicle got there aboard the Rosetta probe (探测器), which has been circling around the comet since Philae separated from it in November, 2014.

12、work. However, as comet 67P/C-G moved closer to the sun, more sunlight reached the space vehicle, allowing it to power up and come back online.

Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio. Its two seat
17、s sit front and back instead of side by side. The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind. The starting price for the car is just $6,800. It has only one door, on the left side, which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes
18、 it cheaper. It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elios long list of suppliers.
