45、dule 5 The Conquest of the Universe太空：最后的疆域第一部分自从尼尔阿姆斯特朗在 1969 年 7 月 21 日首次踏上月球以来，人们对太空旅行这一概念已经非常熟悉。数百万的人们从电视上观看了首次登月，他们的心提到了嗓子眼，因为他们知道这次冒险是多么艰难和危险，以及要冒什么风险。伴随着阿姆斯特朗这句如今已经非常有名的话：“这是个人的一小步，却是整个人类的一大步”，一个梦想实现了。三名宇航员都安全返回地球，他们当年使用的计算机远不及现在普通的学生所使用的高级。栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 5 The Conquest of
46、 the Universe在接下来的几年里，又有几次进入太空的旅行，但是单程宇宙飞船非常昂贵，因为它们只能被使用一次。人们对一天要花掉美国 1 000 万美元的太空旅行计划不再那么热衷了。这种情况一直持续到航天飞机的出现那是一种可以被用来进行多次旅行的航天器。第一个到达太空的航天飞机是“哥伦比亚号”于 1981年 4 月 12 日发射于肯尼迪航天中心。这次飞行的目的是测试这种新的飞行器，看其是否能够安全进入轨道、返回地球并且安全着陆。距离“阿波罗 11 号”历史性的飞行仅仅十多年的时间，这次航行取得了成功，“哥伦比亚号”在控制下以飞机着陆的方式安全地返回了加利福尼亚。这次飞行开辟了宇宙航行的新
47、纪元。栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 5 The Conquest of the Universe到 1986 年“挑战者号”起飞之前，人们似乎已经沉醉于人类走进太空这一惊人的成就而忘记了恐惧，也失去了好奇。但是这次将是一次特殊的飞行，因此数百万人打开了电视来一睹这次起飞。一位 37 岁的普通教师克里斯塔麦奥里菲将要成为第一位进入太空的普通公民，她已经结婚并有两个孩子。她将在太空中上两节 15 分钟的课。第一节课将展示怎么操纵航天器并且解释重力如何作用。第二节课将描述“挑战者号”太空计划的目的。克里斯塔希望能传递此项目的兴奋感并引起人们对太空旅行计划的新兴

49、t of the Universe第二部分我能够清楚地记得那天在学校通过电视观看“挑战者号”起飞的情景。我们都很兴奋，因为有位普通的老师也在“挑战者号”上。我们迫不及待地等着它起飞。当宇航员进入航天飞机的时候，我们看见他们满脸笑容地向世界挥手致意。然后，就在起飞一分钟多一点时，我们看到空中有一种奇怪的红色和橙色的光芒，接着就是一团白烟。“挑战者号”在半空爆炸了，我们都开始尖叫起来。栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 5 The Conquest of the Universe事情发生得太突然了，人们都惊呆了。和其他男生一样，我本以为作为一名宇航员进入太空一定是世界上最好的工作。几周之后，当我听说那几位宇航员的遗体以及那位老师的教案在大洋底部被找到的时候，我不再肯定这一切都是值得的。即使我们掌握了现在的全部先进技术，我们这个世界依然只是处于太空旅行的起步阶段。栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 5 The Conquest of the Universe栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 5 The Conquest of the Universe按ESC键退出全屏播放本部分内容讲解结束
