What I learned from going blind in space | Chris Hadfield | TED

譯者: Regina Chu 審譯者: Marssi Draw

What's the scariest thing you've ever done?

你做過最可怕的事情是什麼？

Or another way to say it is,

或者換個說法，

what's the most dangerous thing that you've ever done?

你做過最危險的事情是什麼？

And why did you do it?

你為什麼要做？

I know what the most dangerous thing is

我知道我到目前為止

that I've ever done

所做過最危險的事情，

because NASA does the math.

因為那是美國太空總署算出來的。

You look back to the first five shuttle launches,

你回想最初五次太空梭發射

the odds of a catastrophic event

發生災難的機率，

during the first five shuttle launches

在那五次發射當中

was one in nine.

是九分之一。

And even when I first flew in the shuttle

即使在我首次登上太空梭

back in 1995, 74 shuttle flight,

那一年，1995 年 編號 74 的太空梭飛行任務，

the odds were still now that we look back

現在我們回頭看，機率仍然有

about one in 38 or so -- one in 35, one in 40.

大約 1/38…1/35 或 1/40。

Not great odds, so it's a really interesting day

機率不算很高， 所以那天真的很有意思。

when you wake up at the Kennedy Space Center

你在甘迺迪太空中心醒來，

and you're going to go to space that day

當天就要升上太空，

because you realize by the end of the day

因為你了解在那一天的終了時，

you're either going to be floating effortlessly, gloriously in space,

你要不就是毫不費力 光榮地在太空中飄浮著，

or you'll be dead.

要不就是死了。

You go into, at the Kennedy Space Center,

你在甘迺迪太空中心

the suit-up room,

走進太空裝的著裝室，

the same room that our childhood heroes

那也是我們童年時嚮往的英雄

got dressed in,

著裝的地方，

that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin got suited in

尼爾·阿姆斯壯及伯茲·艾德林 在那裡穿上太空裝後，

to go ride the Apollo rocket to the moon.

駕駛阿波羅號太空船奔向月球。

And I got my pressure suit built around me

而我被加壓的太空裝包裹著，

and rode down outside in the van

到外面乘坐廂型車

heading out to the launchpad --

往發射台直奔

in the Astro van -- heading out to the launchpad,

──在太空號廂型車內── 向發射台直奔，

and as you come around the corner

當你快到

甘迺迪太空中心的轉角處時，

at the Kennedy Space Center,

it's normally predawn, and in the distance,

通常是在黎明前，

遠處被巨大氙氣燈照亮著的

lit up by the huge xenon lights,

is your spaceship --

就是你的太空船──

the vehicle that is going to take you off the planet.

那即將帶著你離開地球的飛行器。

The crew is sitting in the Astro van

機組員坐在太空號車中，

sort of hushed, almost holding hands,

一片靜默，幾乎是手牽著手，

looking at that as it gets bigger and bigger.

看著那太空船變得愈來愈大。

We ride the elevator up

我們搭電梯上去，

and we crawl in, on your hands and knees

然後匍匐前進，

四肢著地爬入太空船，一次一個人，

into the spaceship, one at a time,

and you worm your way up

而你蠕行向上

into your chair and plunk yourself down

爬進你的座位，砰的一聲

on your back.

背靠著坐下。

And the hatch is closed,

接著艙口關了，

and suddenly,

突然間，

what has been a lifetime of both dreams and denial

你一輩子的夢想及否定

is becoming real,

就要成真，

something that I dreamed about,

我夢想的這件事，

in fact, that I chose to do when I was nine years old,

其實是在我九歲就選擇要做的事，

is now suddenly within not too many minutes

現在突然在短短幾分鐘內

of actually happening.

就要實現了。

In the astronaut business --

在太空人這行──

the shuttle is a very complicated vehicle;

太空梭是很複雜的飛行器，

it's the most complicated flying machine ever built.

它是史上最複雜的飛行機器。

And in the astronaut business, we have a saying, which is,

在太空人這行 有句玩笑話是這麼說的，

there is no problem so bad

事情還沒壞到最高點，

that you can't make it worse.

你還可以把它搞得更糟。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And so you're very conscious in the cockpit;

所以在座艙內你的意識非常清楚，

you're thinking about all of the things

你心中想著各種

that you might have to do,

你大概得做的事，

all the switches and all the wickets you have to go through.

所有的開關，所有要通過的關卡。

And as the time gets closer and closer,

隨著時間愈來愈接近，

this excitement is building.

興奮的情緒逐漸增加。

And then about three and a half minutes before launch,

然後大約在發射前三分半鐘，

the huge nozzles on the back,

背後那跟大型教堂鐘 一樣大的巨大噴嘴

like the size of big church bells,

swing back and forth

來回擺動著，

and the mass of them is such

這一大團東西

that it sways the whole vehicle,

搖晃著整個飛行器，

like the vehicle is alive underneath you,

好像這個飛行器在你底下活起來，

like an elephant getting up off its knees or something.

就像跪著的大象站起來似的。

And then about 30 seconds before launch,

然後發射前 30 秒

the vehicle is completely alive --

飛行器完全活過來──

it is ready to go --

準備好要起飛了──

the APUs are running,

輔助動力系統正在運作，

the computers are all self-contained,

電腦也很完備，

it's ready to leave the planet.

準備好要離開地球。

And 15 seconds before launch, this happens:

然後發射前 15 秒，這個情景出現：

(Video) Voice: 12, 11, 10,

（影片）聲音：12、11、10、

nine, eight, seven, six --

九、八、七、六──

(Space shuttle preparing for takeoff)

（太空梭準備起飛）

-- start, two, one,

──開始、二、一，

booster ignition, and liftoff of the space shuttle Discovery,

助推器點火，發現號太空梭升空，

returning to the space station, paving the way ...

回到太空站，為未來鋪路。

(Space shuttle taking off)

（太空梭起飛）

Chris Hadfield: It is incredibly powerful

克：這真的很強，

to be on board one of these things.

能登上這東西。

You are in the grip of something

你在一件遠超過你能力所及的

that is vastly more powerful than yourself.

東西的掌握之中，

It's shaking you so hard you can't focus

它晃動得這麼厲害使你無法專注

on the instruments in front of you.

在你面前的儀器上。

It's like you're in the jaws of some enormous dog

就像一條碩大的狗對你張牙舞爪，

and there's a foot in the small of your back

又有一隻腳正抵著你的後腰背，

pushing you into space,

推著你上太空，

accelerating wildly straight up,

瘋狂加速直線向上，

shouldering your way through the air,

在空氣中推擠出一條路，

and you're in a very complex place --

而你處在一個非常複雜的地方，

paying attention, watching the vehicle

要專心、要看著飛行器，

go through each one of its wickets

經過一道道關卡，

with a steadily increasing smile on your face.

而你的臉上綻放的微笑愈來愈大。

After two minutes, those solid rockets explode off

兩分鐘後，固態火箭助推器爆炸脫落，

and then you just have the liquid engines,

所以你只剩液態引擎，

the hydrogen and oxygen,

氫氣及氧氣，

and it's as if you're in a dragster

就好像你在高速賽車中，

with your foot to the floor

你的腳踩在車底，

and accelerating like you've never accelerated.

然後以你從沒經歷過的高速加速，

You get lighter and lighter,

你愈來愈輕，

the force gets on us heavier and heavier.

但重力拉著我們卻愈來愈重。

It feels like

這感覺就像

someone's pouring cement on you or something.

有人在你身上倒水泥或什麼的。

Until finally,

直到最後，

after about eight minutes and 40 seconds or so,

大約八分 40 秒左右，

we are finally at exactly the right altitude,

我們終於到達合適的高度，

exactly the right speed,

到達合適的速度，

the right direction, the engine shut off,

合適的方向，關掉引擎，

and we're weightless.

我們變成失重狀態。

And we're alive.

而且我們還活著。

It's an amazing experience.

這是非常奇妙的經驗。

But why would we take that risk?

但我們為什麼要冒這個風險？

Why would you do something that dangerous?

你為什麼要做這麼危險的事？

In my case the answer is fairly straightforward.

以我的情況，答案很直接明瞭。

I was inspired as a youngster

我還是年輕小伙子時就被啟發，

that this was what I wanted to do.

瞭解到這是我想要做的事。

I watched the first people walk on the moon

我看著第一批在月球漫步的人，

and to me, it was just an obvious thing --

對我而言這是很明顯的事，

I want to somehow turn myself into that.

我想要把自己變成那樣。

But the real question is,

但現實的問題是

how do you deal with the danger of it

你要如何應付它的危險性

and the fear that comes from it?

及它帶來的恐懼感？

How do you deal with fear versus danger?

與危險比較，你要如何應付恐懼？

And having the goal in mind, thinking about where it might lead,

在心裡有了那樣的目標， 想著這可能帶來什麼結果，

directed me to a life of

引領我過著一種生活

looking at all of the small details to allow

是所有小細節都不肯放過，

this to become possible,

只要能夢想成真、

to be able to launch and go help build a space station

能夠升空、幫助建造太空站的生活。

where you are on board a million-pound creation

你登上那座一百萬磅重的作品，

that's going around the world at five miles a second,

以每秒鐘五英里的速度環繞地球，

eight kilometers a second,

每秒鐘八公里，

around the world 16 times a day,

每天繞地球 16 次。

with experiments on board that are teaching us

在上面做的實驗讓我們瞭解

what the substance of the universe is made of

宇宙是由什麼物質組成，

and running 200 experiments inside.

還要在裡頭做 200 個實驗。

But maybe even more importantly,

但也許更重要的

allowing us to see the world in a way

是讓我們以一種

其他方法都做不到的方式看世界，

that is impossible through any other means,

to be able to look down

就是可以俯瞰

and have -- if your jaw could drop, it would --

——如果你的下巴掉得下來， 它真的就會掉下來——

the jaw-dropping gorgeousness of the turning orb

令人瞠目結舌華麗無比的轉動星球，

like a self-propelled art gallery of fantastic,

就像一個會自轉的畫廊 掛滿了既奇幻

constantly changing beauty that is the world itself.

又不斷變化的美麗藝品， 即是這世界本身。

And you see, because of the speed,

而因為這樣的速度，

a sunrise or a sunset every 45 minutes

每 45 分鐘你就會 看到一次日出或日落，

for half a year.

持續半年之久。

And the most magnificent part of all that

而這行動最棒的部分

is to go outside on a spacewalk.

就是去外面太空漫步。

You are in a one-person spaceship

你在一艘單人太空船中，

that is your spacesuit,

就是你的太空裝，

and you're going through space with the world.

你與世界同步，一同穿過宇宙，

It's an entirely different perspective,

這是全然不同的角度，

you're not looking up at the universe,

你不是向上觀看宇宙，

you and the Earth are going through the universe together.

你是與地球一同穿過宇宙。

And you're holding on with one hand,

你以一隻手緊緊抓著，

looking at the world turn beside you.

看著在你身旁轉動的世界，

It's roaring silently

它無聲地呼嘯著，

with color and texture as it pours by

傾瀉出各式各樣的顏色及質地

mesmerizingly next to you.

在你旁邊，使你萬分著迷。

And if you can tear your eyes away from that

如果你能將視線移開，

and you look under your arm

去看看手臂底下

down at the rest of everything,

其餘的一切，

it's unfathomable blackness,

它是深不可測的黑暗，

with a texture you feel like you could stick your hand into.

帶著一種質地，你覺得 好像能把你的手伸進去似的。

and you are holding on with one hand,

而你以一隻手緊緊抓住

one link to the other seven billion people.

那與其他七十億人唯一的連結。

And I was outside on my first spacewalk

我第一次在外面太空漫步時，

when my left eye went blind,

我的左眼看不見了，

and I didn't know why.

我不知道為什麼。

Suddenly my left eye slammed shut

突然我的左眼緊閉，

in great pain

痛得不得了，

and I couldn't figure out why my eye wasn't working.

我搞不清楚為什麼眼睛看不到了。

I was thinking, what do I do next?

那時我想，我該怎麼辦？

I thought, well maybe that's why we have two eyes,

我想，說不定這就，是我們 有兩隻眼睛的原因，

so I kept working.

所以我繼續工作。

But unfortunately, without gravity,

但不幸的是，在沒有重力下

tears don't fall.

眼淚不能掉落。

So you just get a bigger and bigger ball of whatever that is

所以就有一球愈來愈大， 不知道是什麼的東西

mixed with your tears on your eye

混著你的眼淚，

until eventually, the ball becomes so big

直到最後，這顆球變得好大好大，

that the surface tension takes it across the bridge of your nose

表面張力帶著它越過鼻樑，

like a tiny little waterfall

像個小瀑布似的，

and goes "goosh" into your other eye,

然後嘩地流入你另一隻眼，

and now I was completely blind

現在我完全看不見了，

outside the spaceship.

就在太空船外面。

So what's the scariest thing you've ever done?

所以你做過最恐怖的事情是什麼？

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Maybe it's spiders.

也許是蜘蛛。

A lot of people are afraid of spiders.

很多人很怕蜘蛛，

I think you should be afraid of spiders --

我想你應該要怕蜘蛛，

spiders are creepy and they've got long, hairy legs,

蜘蛛令人毛骨悚然， 而且牠們的腿又長又毛，

and spiders like this one, the brown recluse --

而且像這種蜘蛛，隱居褐蛛，

it's horrible. If a brown recluse bites you,

好可怕！如果隱居褐蛛咬你一口，

you end with one of these horrible, big necrotic things

最後會留下 很可怕的大塊壞死組織

on your leg

在你的腿上，

and there might be one right now

而現在說不定就有一隻

sitting on the chair behind you, in fact.

其實在你後面的椅子上坐著。

And how do you know?

你怎麼會知道？

And so a spider lands on you,

所以一隻蜘蛛落到你身上，

and you go through this great, spasmy attack

而你經歷一場大痙攣似的攻擊，

because spiders are scary.

因為蜘蛛很可怕。

But then you could say, well is there a brown recluse

但你也可能這麼問， 喂，到底有沒有隱居褐蛛

sitting on the chair beside me or not?

坐在我旁邊的椅子上？

I don't know. Are there brown recluses here?

我不知道。有看到隱居褐蛛嗎？

So if you actually do the research, you find out that

所以如果你真的做研究，你會發現

in the world there are about 50,000 different types of spiders,

這世界有大約五萬種不同的蜘蛛，

and there are about two dozen that are venomous

而在這五萬種中大約有

out of 50,000.

兩打是有毒的。

And if you're in Canada, because of the cold winters

如果你是加拿大人，因為冬天很冷，

here in B.C., there's about 720, 730 different types of spiders

在卑詩省這裡有大約 720、 730 種不同的蜘蛛，

and there's one -- one --

只有一種，一種

that is venomous,

是有毒的，

and its venom isn't even fatal,

而且這種毒還不會致命，

it's just kind of like a nasty sting.

它只是個討厭的東西。

And that spider -- not only that,

而那種蜘蛛──不僅如此，

but that spider has beautiful markings on it,

那種蜘蛛身上有很美的花紋

it's like "I'm dangerous. I got a big radiation symbol on my back, it's the black widow."

好像在說「我很危險。我背後 有很大的輻射標誌，我是黑寡婦。」

So, if you're even slightly careful

所以如果你稍微小心一點，

you can avoid running into the one spider --

你就可以避免碰到這種蜘蛛。

and it lives close the ground,

牠住的地方離地面很近，

you're walking along, you are never going to go through

你沿著路走，決不會穿越

a spider web where a black widow bites you.

上面有黑寡婦咬你的蜘蛛網下。

Spider webs like this, it doesn't build those,

像這種的蜘蛛網不會那樣編，

it builds them down in the corners.

牠在地上的角落編蜘蛛網。

And its a black widow because

而這是隻黑寡婦，

the female spider eats the male;

因為雌蜘蛛會吃掉雄蜘蛛，

it doesn't care about you.

牠一點也不在乎你。

So in fact,

所以其實

the next time you walk into a spiderweb,

下次你走路碰到蜘蛛網，

you don't need to panic and go with your caveman reaction.

不用驚慌使出你的原始人反應。

The danger is entirely different than the fear.

危險完全不同於恐懼。

How do you get around it, though?

但你要如何避免？

How do you change your behavior?

你要如何改變你的行為？

Well, next time you see a spiderweb,

嗯，下次你看到一張蜘蛛網

have a good look, make sure it's not a black widow spider,

要仔細看一下，確定那不是黑寡婦的網，

and then walk into it.

然後再穿過它。

And then you see another spiderweb

然後你又看到另一張蜘蛛網，

and walk into that one.

就直接穿過去。

It's just a little bit of fluffy stuff. It's not a big deal.

那只不過是一張毛毛的東西， 沒什麼了不起。

And the spider that may come out is no more threat to you than a lady bug

而從上面爬出來的蜘蛛 對你的威脅也不會比

or a butterfly.

一隻瓢蟲或蝴蝶還大。

And then I guarantee you if you walk through 100 spiderwebs

然後我向你保證， 在你穿越 100 張蜘蛛網後，

you will have changed

你將會改變

your fundamental human behavior,

你最基本的人類行為，

your caveman reaction,

你的原始人反應，

and you will now be able to walk in the park in the morning

你就能一早走進公園，

and not worry about that spiderweb --

一點都不擔心那些蜘蛛網，

or into your grandma's attic or whatever,

或走進你祖母的閣樓、

into your own basement.

你自己的地下室等等。

And you can apply this to anything.

你可以把這想法應用在各種情況。

If you're outside on a spacewalk and you're blinded,

如果你在外面太空漫步， 然後看不見了，

your natural reaction would be to panic, I think.

我想你自然的反應會是驚慌。

It would make you nervous and worried.

它讓你緊張擔心。

But we had considered all the venom,

但我們已經考量過所有的毒液，

and we had practiced with a whole variety of different spiderwebs.

我們也對各式蜘蛛網做過練習，

We knew everything there is to know

我們也充分了解 所有關於太空裝的事，

about the spacesuit

and we trained underwater thousands of times.

我們也在水面下訓練過幾千次了。

And we don't just practice things going right,

我們不只練習正常的事，

we practice things going wrong all the time,

我們也一直在練習不正常的事。

so that you are constantly walking through those spiderwebs.

所以你不斷地穿過蜘蛛網，

And not just underwater, but also in virtual reality labs

不只是在水面下， 還在虛擬實境實驗室裡

with the helmet and the gloves

戴著頭盔手套，

so you feel like it's realistic.

讓你覺得很真實。

So when you finally actually get outside on a spacewalk,

所以當你最後真的到外面太空漫步，

it feels much different than it would

它會跟你原本第一次到外面時 會有的感覺

if you just went out first time.

大不相同。

And even if you're blinded,

即使你看不見了，

your natural, panicky reaction doesn't happen.

你本能的驚慌反應也不會發生。

Instead you kind of look around and go,

你反而會看看四周，

"Okay, I can't see,

「好吧，我看不到了。」

but I can hear, I can talk,

「但我還聽得到，可以說話。」

Scott Parazynski is out here with me.

「斯科特·帕拉茲斯基 也跟我一起在外面。」

He could come over and help me."

「他可以過來幫我。」

We actually practiced incapacitated crew rescue,

我們真的練習過無行為能力組員救援，

so he could float me like a blimp

所以他可以幫助我像飛艇一樣飄浮，

and stuff me into the airlock if he had to.

如果有必要還可以把我塞進氣密艙中。

I could find my own way back.

我也能自己找到方法回去。

It's not nearly as big a deal.

這根本不算什麼大不了的事。

And actually, if you keep on crying for a while,

而且實際上如果你再哭一陣子，

whatever that gunk was that's in your eye starts to dilute

無論你眼裡那團黏糊糊的是什麼， 都會開始稀釋，

and you can start to see again,

你就又看得見了。

and Houston, if you negotiate with them,

如果你想跟休士頓指揮中心談判，

they will let you then keep working.

他們只會叫你繼續工作。

We finished everything on the spacewalk

那次太空漫步我們完成了每一件事。

and when we came back inside,

我們回到裡面的時候，

Jeff got some cotton batting and took the crusty stuff around my eyes,

傑夫拿了幾個棉球 擦掉我眼旁硬硬的東西，

and it turned out it was just the anti-fog,

結果發現那只不過是防霧劑，

sort of a mixture of oil and soap, that got in my eye.

一種油及肥皂的混合物 跑到我的眼睛裡。

And now we use Johnson's No More Tears,

所以現在我們用不流淚配方的 嬌生嬰兒洗髮精，

which we probably should've been using

或許我們早該

right from the very beginning. (Laughter)

從一開始就用那種。（笑聲）

But the key to that is

但重點是，

by looking at the difference

透過了解

between perceived danger and actual danger,

自覺危險及確實危險的差別，

where is the real risk?

哪裡真的有風險？

What is the real thing that you should be afraid of?

什麼是你真的應該怕的東西？

Not just a generic fear of bad things happening.

而不是杞人憂天的泛泛恐懼。

You can fundamentally change your reaction to things

你可以徹底改變你對事物的反應，

so that it allows you to go places

所以這使你能去一些地方、

and see things and do things

看一些東西、做一些事，

that otherwise would be completely denied to you ...

那些你本來以為徹底無望的事。

where you could see the hardpan south of the Sahara,

在那裡你能看到南撒哈拉的沙礫，

or you can see New York City

或是紐約市，

in a way that is almost dreamlike,

你看到的樣子好像夢幻一般，

or the unconscious gingham of Eastern Europe fields

或是不為人知的東歐方格田野，

or the Great Lakes

或是五大湖，

as a collection of small puddles.

看起來就像聚在一起的幾灘小水窪。

You can see the fault lines of San Francisco

你能看到舊金山的斷層帶，

and the way the water pours out under the bridge,

還有橋下的水傾瀉而出，

just entirely different

你所看到的是如此截然不同，

than any other way that you could have

是你以前沒有辦法克服恐懼時

if you had not found a way to conquer your fear.

用盡方法也看不到的。

You see a beauty that otherwise

你見到的美

never would have happened.

是你以前絕對看不到的。

It's time to come home at the end.

最後該回家了。

This is our spaceship,

這是我們的太空船，

the Soyuz, that little one.

聯盟號，小的那個。

Three of us climb in,

我們三個爬進去，

and then this spaceship detaches from the station

然後這艘太空船與太空站分離，

and falls into the atmosphere.

掉進大氣層。

These two parts here

這邊的兩個部分

actually melt, we jettison them and they burn up

其實會熔掉，我們拋掉它們，

in the atmosphere.

它們會在大氣層燒掉。

The only part that survives is the little bullet

留下來的部分 只有這個小子彈船艙，

that we're riding in,

我們乘坐在裡面，

and it falls into the atmosphere,

它掉進大氣層。

and in essence

基本上，

you are riding a meteorite home,

你是乘著隕石回家，

and riding meteorites is scary,

乘著隕石是很恐怖的，

and it ought to be.

它本當如此。

But instead of riding into the atmosphere

但與其尖叫著乘著隕石

just screaming, like you would

進入大氣層，

if suddenly you found yourself riding a meteorite

就像你突然發現你是坐在一顆隕石上

back to Earth -- (Laughter) --

回到地球， ──（笑聲）──

instead, 20 years previously

與其這樣，在 20 年前

we had started studying Russian,

我們就開始學俄語，

and then once you learn Russian, then we

一旦你學會了俄語，

learned orbital mechanics in Russian,

我們就開始以俄語學太空動力學，

and then we learned vehicle control theory,

然後我們又學飛行器控制理論，

and then we got into the simulator

然後我們進入模擬器，

and practiced over and over and over again.

一遍又一遍地練習。

And in fact, you can fly this meteorite

事實上，你的確可以駕著這顆隕石飛，

and steer it and land in about a 15-kilometer circle

操縱它降落在直徑 15 公里的圓內「

anywhere on the Earth.

在地球上的任何地方。

So in fact, when our crew was coming back

所以當我們機組員坐在聯合號，

into the atmosphere inside the Soyuz,

要回到大氣層時，

we weren't screaming, we were laughing;

我們沒有尖叫，我們反而在笑，

it was fun.

好好玩。

And when the great big parachute opened,

當那個很大的降落傘打開的時候，

we knew that if it didn't open

我們知道如果它沒打開

there's a second parachute,

還有第二個降落傘，

and it runs on a nice little clockwork mechanism.

它靠一個精細的小發條機制運作。

So we came back, we came thundering back

所以我們回來，我們呼嘯著

to Earth and this is what it looked like

回到地球，而這就是

to land in a Soyuz, in Kazakhstan.

我們乘聯合號降落在哈薩克的樣子。

(Video) Reporter: And you can see one of those

（影片）記者：你能看見其中一架

search and recovery helicopters, once again

搜救直升機，再說一次，

that helicopter part of dozen such Russian

那架直升機是俄羅斯

Mi-8 helicopters.

Mi-8 河馬直升機機隊之一。

Touchdown -- 3:14 and 48 seconds,

著陸── 3 點 14 分 48 秒，

a.m. Central Time.

中部時間清晨。

CH: And you roll to a stop

克：你滾了幾次才停，

as if someone threw your spaceship at the ground

就像有人把你的太空船丟到地上，

and it tumbles end over end,

它從這端滾到那端，

but you're ready for it

但你是準備好的，

you're in a custom-built seat,

你坐在特製的椅子上，

you know how the shock absorber works.

你知道避震器怎麼運作，
