What does the title “Space: The Final Frontier” mean to you Share your ideas with the whole class.
While I support space exploration, I don’t think space is the final frontier just yet. There is still much to learn about the Earth, and we are only at the very beginning of new technological breakthroughs involving information technology and AI. There are many scientific and technological frontiers all around us.
我们生在红旗下，长在春风里，目光所至皆为华夏，五星闪耀皆为信仰，人民有信仰，国家有力量，民族有希望。欣逢盛世，当不负盛世，愿吾辈之青春，捍卫这盛世之中华!
We were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. Our people have faith, and our country has power. As far as we can see, It’s China. And the five stars on red flags shine because of our belief.
