Barometers have measured pressure. Cameras have taken pictures.

李老师

Barometers have measured pressure. Cameras have taken pictures.
     But none of these things really satisfies man. He wants to see space for himself. So, some countries like America and Russia began to train astronauts in 1960s and have sent them into space successfully.
     The training is hard and the project is big. Later there were even animals such as monkeys, mice and chimpanzees that made the trip into space, too. The time has not come for families to go on space trips but today nobody thinks that such things are impossible. Everyone knows we will have them someday and may have them sooner than we think.
Man feels excited when he thinks about the future. He will someday step into a rocket and rise from the earth. But he will land somewhere else. The rocket has made it possible for man to imagine how big our world is.
