银色的“项链” 1945年,一个名叫A.C.克拉克的英国人发表了一篇题为“地球外的中继”的论文。在论文中,他提出了一个十分大胆的设想,即人类有可能通过发射人造地球卫星,为地面通信建立设在空间的“中继站”。他还预言,在1969年前后,人类将登上月球。 历史完全印证了克拉克的预言。现在,数以百计的通信卫星相继升空,他们在不同的轨道上绕地球运转,犹同一串串套在地球姑娘颈上的“项链”,光彩夺目,波映人间。
Silver “Necklace” In 1945, an Englishman named A.C. Clarke published an essay entitled “Trunk Out of Earth.” In his paper, he proposed a very bold assumption that it is possible for mankind to establish a “relay station” in space for terrestrial communications by launching man-made earth satellites. He also predicted that humans would land on the moon around 1969. History completely confirms Clarke’s prophecy. Hundreds of communications satellites are now being lifted off one after another. They are orbiting the earth in different orbits, still resembling a string of “necklaces” nested on the girl’s neck.
