人類首度登陸月球距今已過四十年，月球再度成為各國太空航行所嚮往的目標，月球只是前哨站，最終目標則是火星。但是一切只是為了追求名聲嗎？人類若能再度登上月球，對科學有任何助益嗎？或者，因為火星仍舊是難以企及的目標，而地球的天然衛星就理所當然成為科學家難以抗拒的誘惑？

Forty years after man first landed on the moon, the celestial body is again the most coveted destination for spacetraveling nations – as a precursor to an eventual mission to Mars. But is all this only about prestige? Just how scientifically useful would it be to put man on the moon again? Or is the Earth's natural satellite simply an attractive prospect for scientists as long as Mars remains an elusive goal?

更快、更高、更厲害… 你可能覺得體育運動就只是為了突破紀錄而已。一些專家害怕禁藥的濫用可能提高到基因工程的層級。這可能利用任何新穎的技術來不當地增進力量與耐力。

Faster, higher, further… you could be mistaken for thinking sport is about little more than breaking records these days. Experts fear that the problem of illegal doping may have shifted up a gear into the realm of genetic manipulation. That could usher in all kinds of new ways to artificially enhance strength and endurance.
