NASA should aim to put boots on the moon in 2028, not 2024, and achieve this goal explicitly to aid human Mars exploration in the 2030s, according to an authorization bill that was introduced Friday (Jan. 24) by the leadership of the House Committee on Science, Space, & Technology.

根據上週五(1月24日)眾議院科學、空間和技術委員會領導層提出的一項授權法案，美國宇航局的目標應該是在2028年而不是2024年在月球上穿上靴子，並明確實現這一目標，以幫助人類在20世紀30年代進行火星探索。

Other major items on the bill's wish list include extending International Space Station (ISS) operations beyond 2024 to 2028; allowing NASA's proposed Gateway space station to be built in one of a variety of locations in Earth-moon space, not just lunar orbit; and launching the Artemis human moon lander in one piece instead of in multiple segments for assembly in space, as NASA proposes to do now.

該法案願望清單上的其他主要專案包括將國際空間站(ISS)的運營延長到2024年至2028年；允許NASA提議的“閘道器”空間站“在地球-月球空間的各種位置之一建造，而不僅僅是月球軌道；以及像NASA現在提議的那樣，將阿耳特彌斯(Artemis)人類月球著陸器整體發射，而不是將其分成多個部分在空間進行組裝。

The bill — designated HR 5666 and introduced by Rep.

該法案指定為HR 5666，由代表介紹。

Kendra Horn, D-Okla., chair of the committee's space subcommittee — stresses that a moon landing in 2028 should be put in the context of a larger moon-to-Mars program.

委員會空間小組委員會主席Kendra Horn，D-Okla強調，2028年的月球著陸應該放在更大的月球對火星計劃的背景下。

This Red Planet program would put humans in Mars orbit by 2033, followed by surface missions.

這個紅色星球計劃將在2033年將人類送入火星軌道，然後是地面任務。

HR 5666 also calls for more flexibility in Gateway's location, opening up such possibilities as Earth-moon Lagrangian points (gravitationally stable locations between the two worlds).

HR5666還呼籲Gateway的位置更具靈活性，為地球-月球拉格朗日點(兩個世界之間的引力穩定位置)等開闢了可能性。
