The Lab2Moon competition, held by TeamIndus, is offering students the chance to secure a
36、spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year. Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether its possible for yeast (酵母) to work and create beer on the moon. However, they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, its also important for the development o

But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash there that scientists are now concerned that if we dont clean it up, we may all be in great danger
47、. The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any results, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning (遗弃) things that n
48、o longer served any useful purposes in space. It is said that there are now over 500,000 pieces of manmade trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million
49、dollar tool kit ( 工 具 箱 ) that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper lost during a spacewalk. The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spaceship. Moreover, pieces of junk may crash with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the
50、Earth. To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop litt
