New Rocket Goes to the Moon

Yep, this rocket is going to the moon. The rocket is called "Artemis 1". It is the most powerful rocket ever! 這個火箭叫做阿提米絲一號，是有史以來最強而有力的火箭。 Artemis 1 is so strong because it must go very far. It will take nearly a month to get to the moon and come back again. Even now, Artemis 1 is far from Earth, deep in outer space. 阿提米絲一號要夠強才能飛很遠，因為它要到月球再回來，需要將近一個月，所以它現在還在太空中。 This rocket has no people. The scientists will stay on Earth, while machines on Artemis 1 will study the Moon. 火箭上沒有載人，科學家待在地球上，阿提米絲一號上面的機器會研究月球。 If Artemis 1 is a success, they will send another rocket. The next rocket will carry people, and it will be called… Artemis 2! 如果這次成功了，下一次他們就會用火箭把人送上太空，這支火箭叫做阿提米絲二號。 Wow, what could people do on the moon? Could we work there? Could we even build a home, and live on the moon? The goal of the Artemis rockets is to answer these questions. 阿提米絲火箭任務的目標是要回答，人類能不能在月球居住的問題。 For now, we can only send a rocket to the moon. But in the future, you might live there. ________________________________ Vocabulary 美國太空總署的月球計畫，阿提米絲一號火箭11月16號發射升空。 1. rocket 火箭 There's something moving in the sky! 天上有東西在動！ Wait, that's Artemis 1! 等等，那是阿提米絲一號！ The rocket that goes to the moon! 那是去月球的那枚火箭。 How can you be so sure? 你怎麼那麼確定？ 2. scientist 科學家 I read a report about it yesterday. 我昨天看到報導。 Scientists want to know if people can live on the moon. 科學家想知道人類能不能住在月球上。 3. live 居住 Living on the moon, wow! 住在月球上，哇！ What would a moon house look like? 月球房屋會是什麼樣子？ 4. success 成功 It may look like a spaceship. 也許像一艘太空船。 That's so cool! 太酷了！ Yes, so let's hope this mission is a success. 對啊，希望這次任務成功。 你也想搭火箭去月球探險嗎？ rocket 火箭 scientist 科學家 live 居住 success 成功 ________________________________ Quiz 1.
