We all need inspiration. It is the fuel that propels us from within.
Inspiration helps you break out of routine thinking and see things differently. That’s why some of the most groundbreaking ideas — whether in art, science, or business — come from moments of deep inspiration.
靈感能幫助你打破思維定式，以全新的視角看待事物。正因如此，無論是藝術、科學或商業領域，許多最具開創性的構想都源自於靈感迸發的時刻。
Designer Spotlight:
Christina Koch.
Christina Hammock Koch [pronunciation: “Cook”] was selected as a NASA astronaut in 2013. She served as flight engineer on the International Space Station (ISS) for Expedition 59, 60 and 61. Koch set a record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman with a total of 328 days in space and participated in the first all-female spacewalk. She most recently served as a mission specialist on the Artemis II mission to the moon. Prior to becoming an astronaut, Christina’s experience spanned both space science mission instrument development and remote scientific field engineering in the Antarctic and Arctic.
NASA太空人克里斯蒂娜·科赫（Christina Koch）。克里斯蒂娜·哈莫克·科赫（Christina Hammock Koch，發音同“Cook”）於2013年入選NASA宇航員隊伍。她曾在國際太空站（ISS）參與第59、60和61次遠徵任務，並擔任飛行工程師。科赫創下了女性單次太空飛行時長最長的紀錄（在太空停留共328天），並參與了人類史上首次全女性太空行走任務。她最近擔任了「阿耳忒彌斯2號」（Artemis II）登月任務的任務專家。在成為太空人之前，克里斯蒂娜的職業經歷涵蓋了太空科學任務儀器的研發，以及在南極和北極地區進行的遠距科學實地工程工作。

Most kids probably dream of becoming an astronaut. I was just the one that never grew out of it.
大多數孩子大概都夢想過成為太空人，而我只是那個從未放棄過這夢想的人。
ROCKS HAULED BACK FROM THE MOON.
When American astronauts walked on the Moon, it yielded a huge amount of science which continues to be studied today yielding new insights. The twelve astronauts who explored the surface of the Moon collected and returned a whopping 842 pounds (382 kilograms) of lunar rocks and soil, which are carefully controlled by NASA and extremely valuable. Each sample has been meticulously documented in NASA's Lunar Sample Catalog.
Many samples feature beads or layers of glass resulting from the incredible pressure and temperatures of volcanic forces or meteorite impacts on the lunar surface. Others are riddled with “vesicles” or impressions from gas bubbles that were formed in volcanic molten rock. The types of rocks in the lunar sample collection are breccias, basalts or crustal rocks. Four major minerals are prevalent in the samples: olivine, ilmenite, pyroxene and plagioclase. Source: www.beautifulpublicdata.com
從月球帶回的岩石。美國太空人的登月任務取得了豐碩的科學成果；時至今日，相關研究仍在持續進行，並持續帶來新的見解。曾踏足月球表面的十二位太空人共採集並帶回了重達842磅（382公斤）的月球岩石與土壤；這些樣本由美國國家航空暨太空總署（NASA）嚴格管控，價值極高。每份樣本都在NASA的《月球樣本目錄》中有著詳盡的紀錄。
許多樣本中含有玻璃微珠或玻璃層，這是月球表面因火山活動或隕石撞擊產生的高溫高壓環境所形成的。另有一些樣本佈滿了「氣孔」——即火山熔岩在冷卻過程中因氣體逸出而留下的痕跡。這些月球樣本涵蓋了角礫岩、玄武岩及地殼岩石等多種類型。樣本中常見的四大礦物包括：橄欖石、鈦鐵礦、輝石和斜長石。
ORION
As NASA looks toward the future, the Orion spacecraft is key a part of eventually sending humans to Mars. Built by lead contractor Lockheed Martin for NASA, Orion is specifically designed to carry astronauts on deep space exploration missions farther than ever before and requires an array of features to keep the spacecraft and its crew safe. No other spacecraft has the technology to endure the extremes of deep space, such as advanced environmental and life support, navigation, communications, radiation shielding, and the world’s largest heat shield to protect astronauts and return them safely home.
「獵戶座」太空船概覽。在NASA展望未來的旅程中，「獵戶座」（Orion）太空船是最終實現載人火星探測任務的關鍵一環。 「獵戶座」由主承包商洛克希德·馬丁公司（Lockheed Martin）為NASA建造，專為搭載太空人執行前所未有的深空探測任務而設計，並配備了一系列保障太空船及乘組安全的技術系統。它擁有其他太空船所不具備的尖端技術，能夠抵禦深空環境的極端挑戰，其中包括先進的環境控制與生命保障系統、導航與通訊系統、輻射屏蔽技術，以及旨在保護太空人並確保其安全返回地球的全球最大隔熱罩。
Did You Know?
The Rotary Printing Press Patented 1843.
Richard Hoe patented the rotary printing press on July 24, 1843. At that time, the advanced printing technology of rotating cylinders allowed for the development of the first mass media, this invention became known as the rotary press -- the first in the world. Also referred to as the "lightning press," Hoe's invention was able to produce eight thousand printed papers per hour revolutionized newspaper printing.
1843年：輪轉印刷機。理查德·霍（Richard Hoe）於1843年7月24日為輪轉印刷機申請了專利。當時，利用旋轉滾筒的先進印刷技術促成了大眾媒體的誕生；這項發明被稱為“輪轉印刷機”，是世界上首款此類設備。霍的發明也被稱為“閃電印刷機”，其每小時可印製8000份報紙，徹底變革了報紙印刷業。
