# Study Group Questions

1. Space exploration costs a lot of money. Do you think it's worth it? Why or why not?
2. Why do you think so many people are fascinated by space?
3. What are some science fiction movies about space travel? What are some of your favorite sci-fi movies?
 

# SPEECH PRACTICE

Talk about space exploration.
 
Space exploration means actually traveling out to space and finding out what is there. 

During the Cold War, it was driven by Space Race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. 

In 1969, the U.S. became the first to land a man on the moon. It has held an edge ever since. 

The Space Shuttle was developed later, making it possible to reuse projectiles. 

The space competition gave way to group efforts, including the International Space Station.
Recently, China has been going all in on space exploration. 

China amazed the world last year by landing a spacecraft on the far side of the moon for the first time.

China is drawing up plans to build a new space station. It also plans to explore Mars for the first time.
 
[해석]

우주 탐사란 실제 우주 공간으로 나아가 그곳을 탐험하는 것이다. 냉전 시대의 우주 탐사는 미국과 구소련 간의 '우주 경쟁'에 의해 추진되었다. 1969년도에 미국이 처음으로 인간을 달에 착륙시켰고, 그 이후 한발 앞서갔다. 추후에 우주 왕복선이 개발되어 발사체를 재사용하는 것이 가능해졌고, 우주 경쟁은 국제 우주 정거장과 같은 협력으로 바뀌었다.
최근에는 중국이 우주 탐사에 열을 올리고 있다. 중국은 작년에 사상 처음으로 달의 뒷면에 우주선을 착륙시켜 전 세계를 놀라게 했다. 중국은 새로운 우주 정거장을 건설할 계획이다. 그와 함께 첫 화성 탐사에 나설 계획도 가지고 있다.
