Hello, my name is Li Ming. I'm (感兴趣的)in the universe. I hope to be an (宇航员)in the future. The earth is a planet and it goes around the (太阳). There are seven other planets around it. But none of them has an environment like that of the earth. So (科学家) haven't (发现)life on other planets, such as Mars. I always pay attention to the latest (消息) about space. For example, Mars is very far away and it's much farther than the (月球). It's about half the size of the earth and there are ice caps at the top and bottom of it. That means there is water on Mars. I like making model (宇宙飞船). I have (刚刚) finished a school (项目)about it. I will work hard and try to make my dream come true.
July 20th, 1969was an important day. Two (America) landed on the moon. They were the first men (reach) the moon. Their names were Armstrong and Aldrin. They went spaceship, whose name was Apollo 11. Apollo 11 (leave) the earth on July 16th and went 385, 000 kilometres. July 20ththe spaceship got to the east of Tranquility Base. Armstrong stepped onto the moon. He became the (one) to walk on it. Just as he said, "This is my small step, it's the big step to humans. "The two men walked on the surface of the moon. They picked up some rocks and put them in the spaceship. They jumped up and while walking. They were tired after their moon walk, they took a rest. On July 21st Apollo 11left the moon and returned to the earth (successful).
Scientists are preparing for the country's manned lunar missions (载人登月任务).
Pang Zhihao, a space researcher1Beijing, said, "The next steps in China's manned space programmes 2 be manned exploration(探索) of the moon. We will set up stations on the3. In this way, we can4 for habitable (适合居住的)places for people. We can also get 5 for deep-space exploration on the moon. Next, we plan to6people to Mars. "It is the first time that China has made a plan for manned missions to the red 7.
Pang said it was very important for humans(人类) to8 Mars. Some Chinese scientists will develop a manned Mars 9by 2050. They will first send 10 there.
"We will have better chances to 11if there is life on Mars by sending astronauts there. This project is important because in our 12system Mars is the most similar to(与……相似)the earth. Also, studies showed that Mars was very similar to the earth in terms of (就……而言) the13 billions of years ago. 14manned missions will help us better know the possible future of the earth, "Pang said. 15, there is still a long way to go. But scientists are very confident about the project.
