去年圣诞,在美国讲学期间,我由纽约南下,远游火热的佛罗里达州,享受一次阳光之旅。除了优美的自然景观之外,给我印象最深的就是位于佛州东海岸卡纳维拉尔角的肯尼迪航天中心了。这座集结了几乎各种先进设备,并以诸如美国首次外层空间载入飞行、阿波罗登月、航天飞机哥伦比亚号升空等一系列人类航天史上的最为重要的活动而雄踞于世界的宇航基地,随时敞开它广阔的胸襟,拥抱来自世界各地的学者和游客。即使是发射太空飞行器的时候,游人也可以在现场远眺那动人心魄的壮丽场面。
During Christmas last year, while teaching in the United States, I walked south from New York to enjoy the sunshine trip in fiery Florida. In addition to its beautiful natural landscape, what impresses me most is the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, on the east coast of Florida. It brings together almost all kinds of advanced equipment and ranks in the world with the most important activities in the history of human spaceflight such as the first launch of the outer space of the United States, the Apollo moon landing, and the launch of the space shuttle Columbia. Aerospace base, ready to open its broad minded, embracing scholars and tourists from all over the world. Even when launching a spacecraft, visitors can see the magnificent scene in the field.
