Hey it's me Destin. Welcome to Smarter Every Day.
嗨，我是Destin。歡迎收看Smarter Every Day。
So, I am very passionate about rockets. You probably know that by now. But the reason I am is because my grandfather worked for NASA and he introduced me to rockets. I knew from that moment when he introduced me that I wanted to explore space, I want to be an astronaut. So here's what we did.
你現在應該已經知道，我對火箭充滿了熱情。因為祖父過去在NASA工作，他教了我一些與火箭相關的事情。從那個時候開始，我開始想要探索太空，成為一個太空人。接下來將介紹一些我們所做的事情。
My hero says, "To him who much is given, much is required," and I grew up in the shadow of that. I've been given a lot. So we recognize that there are people who don't even know what rockets are. So a buddy of mine, and I, we launched this operation. It took us a year and a half to plan and execute, but we took rockets to people who'd never seen rockets before.
我的英雄說：「受人滴水之恩，必當湧泉以報。」而我一直深受其影響。我也確實受了許多恩惠。我們發現有很多人不知道什麼是火箭，我和一個朋友就發起了一項計畫。我們花了一年半規劃然後執行，將火箭帶到這輩子從未見過火箭的人們眼前。
But in order to do this, the first thing we had to do logistically was figure out how to get rockets to the smallest nation in Africa.
為了這項計畫，我們所要做的第一件事就是想辦法將火箭帶到這個非洲最小的國家裡去。
We have a class B, Estes model rocket and we're gonna let it fly, and let these kids learn a little bit more about science, and math and technology. In order for the fins to hold it straight, it has to be going fast. Before it goes fast, you have to hold it straight.
我們有一個B級的Estes模型火箭，接下來要發射它，讓小朋友藉此學習一些科學、數學與科技知識。為了讓尾翼保持火箭直線飛行，必須要高速前進。在高速行進之前，你必須讓它保持直立。
The answer is science, OK. When your teacher gets ready to fire, we're going to count down. Now, what we do when you shoot rockets is you count from five down to zero. One...zero...
答案是科學。好的。當你的老師準備好發射，我們開始倒數計時。現在，當你要發射火箭的時候，你要做的是從五數到零。一...零...
This is the inauguration of the Gambian space program.
這是甘比亞太空計畫的開幕儀式。
Five...four...three...two...one... Fire!
五...四...三...二...一...發射!
Did you see that? Look, let me play it back. Watch this kid, right here. That guy! Ignore the other ones. He's having the moment. This is the very first time this kid's ever seen a rocket in his entire life.
你看到了嗎？讓我們重播一次，看看那個孩子，就在那邊。就是他!別看其他人。他非常開心，這是他有生以來第一次看到火箭。
Did you like it? Yes.
喜歡嗎？是的。
Do you remember what that's like for you? Well, here's the deal. You've been given many opportunities that other people in the world haven't got. It's like this. To him who much is given, much is required. What have you been given? So me and Stevo's plan to get people excited about science technology engineering math was the initiation of the Gambian space program.
你還記得自己第一次看到火箭的感覺嗎？嗯，就這樣好了。你曾經得到其他人無法得到的機會。這就是這麼一回事。受人滴水之恩，必當湧泉以報。你曾受過什麼樣的恩惠呢？我和Stevo的計畫使得很多人對於科技、工程和數學感到興趣，這就是甘比亞太空計畫的開端。
