[Day 677 2016-08-03]Lesson 35-1 Space odyssey

The Moon is likely to become the industrial hub of the Solar System, supplying the rocket fuels for its ships, easily obtainable from the lunar rocks in the form of liquid oxygen. The reason lies in its gravity. Because the Moon has only an eightieth of the Earth's mass, it requires 97 per cent less energy to travel the quarter of a million miles from the Moon to Earth-orbit than the 200 mile-journey from Earth's surface into orbit!

This may sound fantastic, but it is easily calculated. To escape from the Earth in a rocket, one must travel at seven miles per second. The comparable speed from the Moon is only 1.5 miles per second.

Because the gravity on the Moon's surface is only a sixth of Earth's (remember how easily the Apollo astronauts bounded along), it takes much less energy to accelerate to that 1.5 miles per second than it does on Earth. Moon-dwellers will be able to fly in space at only three per cent of the cost of similar journeys by their terrestrial cousins.

Arthur C. Clark once suggested a revolutionary idea passes through three phases: 1 'It's impossible -- don't waste my time.'

2 'It's possible, but not worth doing.'

3 'I said it was a good idea all along.'

點評：
hazel說:我声音洪亮，有语调和停顿eightieth 的e没出来，calculate的ca注意一下

Anda:m放在结尾的问题，容易被漏掉；oxygen英音的读法o不太一样，去查一下；escape读的不太好；five没读好～

糾正後：calculated/[ˈkælkjʊleɪtɪd];escape/[ɪsˈkeɪp] 要特別注意，然後oxygen的o要發英音版

聽到anda發comparable與錄音不太相同，後來查字典後，comparable

Pronunciation: /ˈkɒmp(ə)rəb(ə)l/，重音應該放在後頭。
