All three astronauts _（成功安全返回地球）using a spaceship computer that was much less powerful than the ones used by the average school students today.There were several more journeys into space over the next few years but the single spaceships were very expensive as they could not take off more than once. People were _（不再） so enthusiastic about a peace travel programme that was costing the United States $10 million a day. That was until the arrival of the space shuttlea spacecraft that could be used for several journeys. The first _(飛入太空的飛船)was the Columbialaunched from the Kennedy Space Centre on 12th April, 1981,. The aim of this flight was to test the new shuttle system, to go safely up into orbit and to return to the Earth for a safe landing. It was a success and _(十年多一點)after Apollo 11s historic voyage, the Columbia made a safe, controlled, aeroplane-style landing in California.

The first was to show the controls of the spacecraft and explain how gravity worked. The second was to describe the aim of the Challenger space programme. Christa hoped to _(傳達)a sense of excitement and create new interest in the space programme.Sadly, she never came back to her classroom again, as the shuttle _（爆炸）just over a minute after taking off in Florida and all seven astronauts were killed.The world was_(震驚了) maybe they assumed this space flight would be no more dangerous than getting on an aeroplane. But how wrong they werein one moment excitement and success _（變成了）fear and disaster. It was the worst space accident ever. As one Russian said at the time,“When something like this happens we are neither Russians nor Americans. We are just human being who have the same feelings.”: 語法填空I can remember that day so clearly, _ (watch) the take-off on TV at school. There was _ ordinary teacher on the Challenger, and we were all very excited. We didnt have much _ (patient) waiting for the launch.

Then, little more than a minute _ take-off, we saw a strange red and orange light in the sky, _ (follow) by a cloud of white smoke. The Challenger had exploded in mid-air and we all started screaming.It happened so quickly and everyone was _ a state of shock. Like every schoolboy I had thought that going into space _ an astronaut must be the best job in the world. When I heard, a few weeks later, that the bodies of the astronaut and even the teachers lesson plans _(find) at the bottom of the ocean, I was not so sure it was worth it at all.
