Throughout the 1960s an enduring development that gave America faith in
both itself and the future of mankind was the program to successfully
conquer space.It has almost been forgotton that the U.S.space effort
was a catch-up operation all the way,ever dince the rude shock of the
(former) Soviet's successful launch of Sputnik,the world's first
artificial earth satellite,in 1957,wellahead of any comparable U.S.
effort.The Sivuets had much more thrust power;they launched the first
inhabited capsule with a dog in it, and then in 1961 made Cosmonaut Yuri
Gagarin the first human to orbit the earth.

Basically,the American people do not want the space program to be either
stopped or cut back to a point where it will lose its effectiveness.But
they are not prepared to break the federal budget to build a shuttle
that blows up in space.

Of an Eastern culture thriving amid one of the world's most contemporary
cities.
Behind you,between briefcases and three-piece suits,an old man with his
caged bird makes his way to morning tea.
Symbolism exerts a powerful influence.Stone lions are everywhere,
protecting banks and businesses from misfortune Goldfish keep away evil
influences.
The graceful movements of Tai Chi colour the early morning street.This
graceful martial art,practised by young and old,lends a surreal touch to
the normal hustle and bustle.

十九世纪60年代,发生了一件令美国人和全人类都值得骄傲的事--------人类征服了太空.而一说起征服太空,似乎人们脑海里第一个蹦出来的是苏联这个国家,自从1957年苏联发射了第一颗人造卫星以来,美国哪怕再在宇航上有什么成就,在气势上也被苏联压住了.苏卫星具有较大的推进功率,苏联发射了首颗载有一只狗的航天器,1961年,Yuri又随船发射升空了,成为首次载人航天飞行.

其实,美国自己也不想自己的航天计划停滞不前,但是,政府又舍不得往航天事业上砸钱.

东方文化走向世界

一回头,只见左边一人儿手提公文包,右边一人儿经典"三件套",中间一老头儿,提笼架鸟儿,还哼着小调儿.
还不止这些,大街小巷里,东方元素随处可见:到处是敛财的石狮子,和避祸的金鱼.大清早,太极爱好者们,老老少少,欢聚一堂,在快节奏的都市生活中,这无疑是一道超现实主义的风景线.
