A new space race is under way — between film-makers

The most realistic depiction yet may arrive on screens in 2022. In October 2021 Roscosmos, Russia's space agency, sent an actor and a director to the International Space Station (ISS) to film scenes for "Vyzov" ("The Challenge"). The story follows a surgeon as she is dispatched to operate on a cosmonaut before he can return to Earth.
到目前为止对太空最真实的描绘，可能会在 2022 年出现在银幕上。2021 年 10 月，俄罗斯的太空总署——俄罗斯联邦航天局——把一名演员和一名导演送往国际空间站（ISS），为电影《维佐夫》（《挑战》）拍摄一些场景。这个故事讲述的是，一名外科医生被派去给一位尚未返回地球的宇航员做手术。

The Russian film-makers are hoping to beat old foes in their creative endeavour: in May 2020 an American film crew, led by director Doug Liman and star Tom Cruise, announced its intention to get their own cameras rolling on the ISS with the help of NASA and SpaceX.
俄罗斯电影工作者们希望在创造性事业中击败宿敌：2020 年 5 月，一个由导演道格·里曼和影星汤姆·克鲁斯领导的美国电影制作组宣布，他们将在美国宇航局和 SpaceX 的帮助下，前往国际空间站拍摄。

It seems, however, that Russia was better prepared for lift-off. Although Messrs Liman and Cruise were also hoping to begin filming in October 2021, further details about this endeavour remain scarce.
然而，俄罗斯方面似乎为飞去太空拍摄做了更充足的准备。尽管里曼先生和克鲁斯先生也希望能在 2021 年 10 月开始拍摄，但是进一步关于这个项目的细节仍然很少。

Similarly, when announcing the Hollywood project, Jim Bridenstine, a former administrator at NASA, said that "we need popular media to inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists to make [NASA's] ambitious plans a reality." To infinity, perhaps, and beyond.
同样，在这个好莱坞项目被宣布时，前美国航天局局长吉姆·布里登斯汀表示：“我们需要大众媒体来激励新一代的工程师和科学家，使美国航天局的雄心壮志成为现实。”飞向宇宙，也许，还有浩瀚无垠。
