2--I wasn't quite prepared for the view of the Earth as we Ieft. It was just awe-inspiring. It emerged from just a slightly curved horizon to a whole Earth , where you could look across oceans and continents in a single glance. I wasn't quite prepared for that. It's inevitably etched in my memory.
 
1--When viewing the Earth from space，do you feel detached from humanity or more a part of the totality of humankind?
 
2--Detached. You're literally detached from one planet, captured by another. Your only link to reality is the Earth out there;fortunate-1y，it stays in view the whole time.
 
1--There're a lot of suspicions that the International Space Station is never going to become reality. Is it going to be some future project that never happens?
 
2--I believe it's certainly for real. It without question has suffered a lot of delays. But there's hardware sitting on the pad right now and it's due to go off in December. It is a reality. It has just taken lon-ger to get literally off the ground.
 
1--There were a lot of talks during the Bush administration about a not too distant future Mars mission. It seemed to fizzle out. Do you think that this Shuttle mission will re-ignite the public's passion for space and get us to Mars sooner
 
2--I hope this flight is not just a one-time affair,that it does re-ignite people's interest to push on. But only time will tell.
 
1--You had gone to the moon twice, orbited space around the Earth lots of times,and of course you have had the most amazing views that a human being can have. How long do we ordinary beings have to wait to feel the weightlessness? I just can't wait.
 
2--If I were the man making the decisions，you could get in line to-morrow. I strongly support ordinary people going into space. Unfor-tunately , I don't think it will be in the near future.

1--你在太空中最出乎意料的经历是什么?
2--我们离开地球时对宇宙中所看到的地球的模样没有心理准备。那景观真是令人肃然起敬。它从一条微微弯曲的地平线上浮现，直至能看见整个的地球。此时你一眼就能看遍所有的陆地。我没想到会是这样的景象。它在我的记忆中留下了不可磨灭的印象。
1--从太空中看地球时，你是觉得与人类恍如隔世呢，还是觉得自己与人类的整体更加密不可分呢?
2--那种感觉真是恍如隔世。你感觉就是离开了一个星球而被另一个星球俘获了。你现实的惟一联系就是宇宙中的地球。万幸的是，它一直在我们的视野范围内。
1--很多人怀疑国际太空站项目永远不会成为现实。会不会是这样呢?
2--我相信这个项目不是儿戏。当然，这不是个简单的项目。但是，有些硬件设施已经在发射台上准备就绪了，预定在12月就能发射升空。它会成为现实，只不过事情的发展经历的时间比人们的预想要长罢了。
1--布什总统当政期间，很多传言说在不久的将来我们要飞向火星。这好像己经不了了之了。你认为飞船项目会不会重燃人们对太空的热情，让我们能早一天飞向火星?
2--我希望这次飞行不会是昙花一现的事，我希望它的确能重新激发人们对太空的向往，鼓励我们继续努力。但是，这只有时间才能验证。
1--你曾两次登上月球，多次环绕地球飞行，你所见过的必定是人类所能看到的最为奇妙、惊人的景观。那么我们普通老百姓还得等多长时间才能感觉到太空中失重的滋味?我都等不及了。
2--如果我是说了算的人，明天你就排上号了。我非常支持人们走进太空。不过，恐怕近期内这还难以做到。
