教材原文
Why we explore
In 1969,when Neil Armstrong first landed on① the Moon,many people thought that soon we would be regularly visiting other planets in our solar system and would even dare to② travel beyond it.This is clearly not the case③.The reality is that space exploration is extremely difficult and dangerous,can take a very long time and costs a huge amount of④money.Some people believe that while space exploration expands our understanding of the universe,it is a waste of⑤ the public purse⑥and does nothing to enhance the quality of our lives⑦here on the Earth.Why do we continue to explore space,then?
