National Aeronautics and Space Administration， (縮寫：NASA）

1958年7月29日，艾森豪威爾總統簽署了《美國公共法案85-568》，

創立的一個聯邦政府機構，負責美國的太空計劃，

如今已邁入五十週年。

 

「這是個人邁出的一小步，但却是人類邁出的一大步。」

Neil Armstrong say "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

 

1969年7月20日，人類首次登上月球，其電視實况轉播成爲全世界矚目的焦點，可謂盛極一時。

然而很少有人知道，要不是因爲澳大利亞一處偏僻小鎮（Parkes）裏四個人的默默貢獻，這一歷史性的激動人心的場面差點不爲世人所見。

「Heaven out of hell」               vocal：Elisa

Heaven out of hell

So are you turning around your mind

do you think the sun won't shine this time

are you breathing only half of the air

are you giving only half of a chance

don't you wanna shake because you love

cry because you care

feel 'cause you're alive

sleep because you're tired

make heaven, heaven out of hell now

are you locked up in you counting the days

oh how long until you have your freedom

just shake because you love

cry because you care

feel 'cause you're alive

sleep because you're tired

shake because you love

bleed 'cause you got hurt

die because you lived

make heaven, heaven out of hell now

are you still turning around the same things

are you still trying that way

are you still praying the same prayers

are you still waiting for that same day to come

climbing the same mountain

you're not getting higher

you're running after yourself

can't let go

hiding in that place you don't wanna be

you push happiness so far away

but it comes back

to give you all that you've given before

to love you the way that you do, like a mirror

look in the air 'n catch that boomerang

can't fall anywhere else but in your own

and make heaven

heaven out of hell now

make heaven

heaven out of hell now...

make heaven heaven out of hell now

make heaven

heaven out of hell now

are you still waiting

make heaven

heaven out of hell now

are you still praying

make heaven

heaven out of hell now

are you still losing

make heaven

heaven out of hell now

make heaven

heaven out of hell now

I wanna fly because

I dream dream dream

往日的農村景觀已經改變，

政策鬆綁使得土地運用更加寬鬆自由，

農地真的農用？

糧食真的生產自給自足？

'What I Want for You — and Every Child in America'

By President-elect Barack Obama

Publication Date: 01/18/2009

On Tuesday, Barack Obama will be sworn in as our 44th President. On this historic occasion, PARADE asked the President-elect, who is also a devoted family man, to get personal and tell us what he wants for his children. Here, he shares his letter to them.

Dear Malia and Sasha,

 

I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

 

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.

 

I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential—schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.

 

I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.

 

Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country—but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free—that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.

That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.

 

She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better—and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.

 

I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much—although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.

 

These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.

 

I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.

 

 

Love, Dad
