- You remember the space race in the '60s was for national prestige, because we lost the first two milestones.
- 你们还记得60年代的太空竞赛是为了国家的声誉，因为我们丢失了最初的两个里程碑。
- We didn't lose them technically. The fact that we had the hardware to put something in orbit when we let Von Braun fly it -- you can argue that's not a technical loss.
- 我们不是因为技术而丢失了它们。事实是我们有硬件，当我们让冯·布劳恩飞行时，我们能够把一些东西送上轨道，你可以认为那不是科技的失败。
- Sputnik wasn't a technical loss, but it was a prestige loss.
- 史波尼克人造卫星不是科技上的失败，但它有损声誉。
- America -- the world saw America as not being the leader in technology, and that was a very strong thing.
- 美国--世界看到美国不是科技的主宰，那时非常重要的事情。
- And then we flew Alan Shepherd weeks after Gagarin, not months or decades, or whatever.
- 然后我们在加加林之后几周让艾伦·谢巴德太空飞行，不是在几个月或几十年之后，或不管多长时间。
- So we had the capability. But America lost. We lost. And because of that, we made a big jump to recover it.
- 所以，我们有能力。但美国失败了，我们失败了。因为那，我们向前跳跃一大步以弥补它。
- Well, again, what's interesting here is we've lost to the Russians on the first couple of milestones already.
- 那么，再次，有趣的是我们已经输给了俄国，在前两次里程碑前。
- You cannot buy a ticket commercially to fly into space in America -- can't do it.
- 在美国，你不能买一张票飞去太空--不能这么做。
- You can buy it in Russia. You can fly with Russian hardware.
- 你可以在俄国买到票。你乘坐俄国的飞行器飞行。
- This is available because a Russian space program is starving, and it's nice for them to get 20 million here and there to take one of the seats.
- 这是可以的，因为苏联的太空计划缺乏资金。一个座位可以得到两千万美金，对他们来说很不错。
- It's commercial. It can be defined as space tourism. They are also offering a trip to go on this whip around the moon, like Apollo 8 was done.
- 它是商业的。它可被定义为空间旅行。他们也能提供绕月旅行，像阿波罗八号飞船所做的。
- 100 million bucks -- hey, I can go to the moon. But, you know, would you have thought back in the '60s,
- 一亿美金--嘿，我能去月球。但是，你知道，退回到60年代，你会想到这个吗，
- when the space race was going on, that the first commercial capitalist-like thing to do to buy a ticket to go to the moon would be in Russian hardware?
- 那时太空竞赛正在继续，第一个商业资本家似的事情，像是买张票就可以去月球，这会是苏联的硬件设施吗？
- And would you have thought, would the Russians have thought, that when they first go to the moon in their developed hardware, the guys inside won't be Russians?
- 那时你会想到吗，苏联人会想到吗，当他们第一次乘坐他们开发的飞船去月球时，里面的乘客不是俄国人？
- Maybe it'll probably be a Japanese or an American billionaire?
- 也许，会是日本的或是美国的亿万富翁？
- Well, that's weird: you know, it really is. But anyway, I think we need to beat them again.
- 好，有点儿奇怪，你知道，但确实如此。但无论如何，我想我们需要再次打击他们。
