On 4 October 1957, the Sputnik 1 satellite 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, on 5 September 1977, America's NASA space agency launched Voyager 1 to study deep space, and it still transmits data to this day. And the International Space Station (1998) has provided a continuous human presence in space, with astronauts from many different countries on board.
此后还有很多更加重大的太空成就。例如,为了研究外太空,1977年9月5日美国国家航空航天局发射了“旅行者一号”,该探测器至今仍在传回数据。再如,国际空间站(1998年建立)上的宇航员来自不同国家,使得人类能够持续在太空中开展工作。

A Although scientists try to make sure nothing goes wrong, accidents can still happen.For example, all the astronauts on the Soyuz 11,Challenger, and Columbia spacecraft died during their missions. However, 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.

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.
