What's out there?” People have always looked up at the stars and wondered about space(畅想太空). Today, scientists design vehicles(交通工具） to carry brave astronauts into space to make important discoveries. __________________.

However, scientists were determined to(决心做……） help humans realise that dream. After many experiments, they succeeded in making rockets that could escape Earth’s gravity. On 4 October 1957, the Sputnik 1 satellite (旅伴一号）was launched by the USSR and successfully orbited around Earth. Afterwards, the USSR focused on sending people into space and on 12 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person in the world to enter space. Over eight years later, on 20 July 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, famously saying, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” Following this, there were many more important space achievements. For example, America’s NASA space agency launched Voyager 1 on 5 September 1977 to study deep space, and it still transmits data today. 1957 USSR:Sputnik 1 1961 USSR: Gagari 1969 USA: Armstrong 1977 USA: Voyager 1 The foreigners’s achievements Reason: to seek a second suitable planet Para. 3 _________. For example, all the astronauts on the Soyuz 11(联盟11号) , Challenger, and Columbia spacecraft died during their missions. Hoewever, while such disasters brought much sadness and disappointment, the desire to explore the universe did not die. This is because people believe in the importance of carrying on space exploration despite the huge risks. Although scientists try to make sure nothing goes wrong, accidents can still happen.

This is because people believe in the importance of carrying on space exploration despite the huge risks. √ Para. 4 China's space programme started later than those of Russia and the US, but it has made great progress in a short time. China became the third country in the world to independently send humans into space in 2003, when Yang Liwei successfully orbited Earth in the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft. Then Shenzhou 6 and 7 completed a second manned orbit and the first Chinese spacewalk, followed by the vehicle Jade Rabbit being sent to the moon to study its surface. On 23 July 2020 ,China sent Tianwen 1 to explore the surface of Mars. It arrived in February 2021 and then sent back lots of valuable information. And from 2021 to 2022, China completed a number of rocket missions to establish its own space station. In 2022 , the launch of the Mengtian module signalled the basic completion of the Tiangong Space Station. This modern space station will allow astronauts to conduct many important experiments, greatly furthering our understanding of the universe. 18 1957 USSR:Sputnik 1 1961 USSR: Gagari 1969 USA: Armstrong 1977 USA: Voyager 1 The foreigners’ achievements disasters 1986-1989 The China’s achievements 2003 Yang Liwei Shenzhou 5 2020 Tianwen 1 2021-2022 Rockets 2022 Tiangong Space Station 2025 Shenzhou 20 Reason: to seek a second suitable planet China became the third country to independently send humans into space! Para. 4 _______. Europe, the US, and China all have plans to further study and explors planets like Mars and Jupiter. Despite the difficulties, scientists hope future dicoveries will not only enable us to understand how the universe began, but also help us survive well into the future. Although scientists try to make sure nothing goes wrong, accidents can still happen.
