Challenger after the accident
挑战者号飞机失事
The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred on January 28, 1986. Shortly after launch, due to O - ring failure in cold weather, the shuttle broke apart, resulting in the loss of all seven crew members. It was a tragic setback for the U.S. space program, leading to a re - evaluation of space shuttle safety.
挑战者号航天飞机的灾难发生在1986年1月28日。发射后不久，由于O形环在寒冷的天气中出现故障，航天飞机解体，导致七名机组人员全部遇难。这是美国太空计划的一次悲剧性挫折，导致了对航天飞机安全性的重新评估。

China’s first Martian rover, was carried by the Tianwen-1 probe. It was launched on July 23, 2020, and landed in the southern part of Utopia Planitia on Mars on May 15, 2021.
Named after the ancient Chinese fire god, the Zhurong rover weighs about 240 kilograms. It is equipped with six scientific payloads, such as a multispectral camera and a subsurface detection radar. These are used to explore the surface composition, geological structure, and meteorological environment of Mars.
中国的首个火星探测器是由“天文一号”探测器携带的。它于2020年7月23日发射，并于2021年5月15日降落在火星乌托邦平原的南部。
祝融号月球车以中国古代火神祝融命名，重约240公斤。它配备了6个科学有效载荷，如一个多光谱相机和一个地下探测雷达。这些卫星用于探测火星的表面成分、地质结构和气象环境。

Activity 6: Critical Thinking
It means space is the last field that remains mysterious and unknown for humans to explore.
My opinion: While I support space exploration, I don’t think space is the final frontier yet. There is still much to learn about the earth, and we are only at the very beginning of new technological breakthroughs(突破). There are many scientific and technological frontiers all around us.
