Steve Truglia: A leap from the edge of space

譯者: zhang haohan 審譯者: Jenny Yang

I'm extremely excited to be given the opportunity

我很高興能有這樣一個機會

to come and speak to you today

來到這裡與大家分享

about what I consider to be

一個特技，我認為

the biggest stunt on Earth.

地球上最大的特技

Or perhaps not quite on Earth.

或許，不能算是在地球上。

A parachute jump from the very edge of space.

從天際進行降落傘表演

More about that a bit later on.

稍後將會詳細介紹。

What I'd like to do first is take you through

首先我想帶你

a very brief helicopter ride of stunts

簡短的瞭解一系列的特技

and the stunts industry in the movies and in television,

和在電視電影中的特技。

and show you how technology

幷向你展示技術是如何

has started to interface with the physical skills

影響特技演員

of the stunt performer

身體技術的。

in a way that makes the stunts bigger

並在某種程度上讓特技更宏偉

and actually makes them safer than they've ever been before.

和如何讓特技演員在表演中處於空前的安全中。

I've been a professional stunt man for 13 years.

我已經是一位有13年資歷的特技表演者。

I'm a stunt coordinator. And as well as perform stunts

我作為一名特技指導不僅表演特技，

I often design them.

我還會時常設計一項特技。

During that time, health and safety has become everything about my job.

在設計時，安全是我工作中的重中之重。

It's critical now that when a car crash happens

在進行汽車衝撞中這十分重要。

it isn't just the stunt person we make safe, it's the crew.

我們不僅要保證我的特技表演員的安全還有全體工作人員。

We can't be killing camera men. We can't be killing stunt men.

我們不能讓拍攝師死去，特技演員死去。

We can't be killing anybody or hurting anybody on set,

我們不能讓任何人被置於危險中，不能讓任何人受傷。

or any passerby. So, safety is everything.

你可以看出，安全是一切的一切。

But it wasn't always that way.

但是一切並不盡然。

In the old days of the silent movies --

以前在老的無聲電影中，

Harold Lloyd here, hanging famously from the clock hands --

許多表演者進行了他們自己獨特的特技，真的很了不起，

a lot of these guys did their own stunts. They were quite remarkable.

比如哈儸德·勞埃爾在大鐘指針上懸掛的那幕。

They had no safety, no real technology.

他們沒有安全保障，沒有現代的科技。

What safety they had was very scant.

他們的安全保障是微乎其微的。

This is the first stunt woman,

屏幕上的是第一位嘗試特技的女性，

Rosie Venger, an amazing woman.

羅西·維爾戈，一個令人稱奇的女性。

You can see from the slide, very very strong.

從幻燈片中你可以看出她十分強壯。

She really paved the way

她真的是完成了一項壯舉

at a time when nobody was doing stunts, let alone women.

因為在那個年代沒人想去做特技，跟別說是女性了。

My favorite and a real hero of mine is Yakima Canutt.

亞基馬·坎納特，一位真正的英雄，也是我最喜歡的特技演員。

Yakima Canutt really formed the stunt fight.

亞基馬·坎納特確實促成了武打特技。

He worked with John Wayne and most of those old punch-ups you see

約翰·威恩與他合作拍攝了許多老的西方武打鏡頭，

in the Westerns. Yakima was either there or he stunt coordinated.

他要麼是特技演員要麼就是特技顧問。

This is a screen capture from "Stagecoach,"

這是從電影“關山飛渡”中截取的一幕，

where Yakima Canutt is doing one of the most dangerous stunts I've ever seen.

亞基馬·坎納特正在進行一次最為危險的特技表演。

There is no safety, no back support,

當時是沒有安全措施，沒有腰墊，

no pads, no crash mats, no sand pits in the ground.

沒有墊子，沒有緩衝墊，地上也沒有沙坑。

That's one of the most dangerous horse stunts, certainly.

這真的是最危險的加入了馬的特技，真的。

Talking of dangerous stunts and bringing things slightly up to date,

把時間放到現代，來談談現在的危險特技，

some of the most dangerous stunts we do as stunt people are fire stunts.

我做過的一件最危險的特技就是加入了火的特技。

We couldn't do them without technology.

我們在沒有技術支持下無法完成這樣的特技。

These are particularly dangerous

這些特技尤其的危險

because there is no mask on my face.

因為我們的臉上沒有戴面具。

They were done for a photo shoot. One for the Sun newspaper,

這些是爲了照片而做的（不是電視電影）。一組是接的太陽報的單，

one for FHM magazine.

一組是接的男人幫的單。

Highly dangerous, but also you'll notice

真的十分危險，但是你肯定會注意到

it doesn't look as though I'm wearing anything underneath the suit.

我並不像是在衣服下穿了什麽東西。

The fire suits of old, the bulky suits, the thick woolen suits,

那些老式的厚重的毛料防火衣，

have been replaced with modern materials

已經被诺梅克斯（化學材料）或最新的碳纖維

like Nomex or, more recently, Carbonex --

給取代了。

fantastic materials that enable us as stunt professionals

這些神奇的材料幫助特技演員

to burn for longer, look more spectacular, and in pure safety.

在表演中燒的更久，也看起來更壯觀，當然在完全安全的情況下。

Here's a bit more.

這還有一些照片。

There's a guy with a flame thrower there, giving me what for.

這兒有人拿著噴火器，正在想我噴火。（笑）

One of the things that a stuntman often does,

被炸飛到空中

and you'll see it every time in the big movies,

是特技演員常做的特技，

is be blown through the air.

也是你每次在看大片時肯定會看到的景象。

Well, we used to use trampettes. In the old days, that's all they had.

（語氣詞）我們過去使用的是蹦床。過去，特技演員也只能用這個。

And that's a ramp. Spring off the thing and fly through the air,

那就中只是個斜面。把東西彈，在半空中飛。

and hopefully you make it look good.

希望你可以把它美化一下。

Now we've got technology. This thing is called an air ram.

我們現在有了新的科技。這玩意叫做空氣沖車。

It's a frightening piece of equipment for the novice stunt performer,

對新手來說這是一件非常恐怖的裝備。

because it will break your legs very, very quickly

因為只要你用不正確的方法踩了上去

if you land on it wrong.

它就會在一瞬間弄斷你的腳。

Having said that, it works with compressed nitrogen.

儘管很危險，這傢伙的工作原理是壓縮氮氣

And that's in the up position. When you step on it,

這是個啟動裝置。當你把腳放在上面時，

either by remote control or with the pressure of your foot,

你可以用遠程遙控，或踩它一下，

it will fire you, depending on the gas pressure,

它都可以用壓縮的氣壓把你沖飛，

anything from five feet to 30 feet.

任何東西，從5到30碼。

I could, quite literally, fire myself into the gallery.

打個比方，它是可以把我沖到那個走廊那的。

Which I'm sure you wouldn't want.

我肯定你們不想讓我這麼做。

Not today.

今天也是不行的。

Car stunts are another area

汽車特技就是另一個特技領域了，

where technology and engineering

科技和工程的進步

advances have made life easier for us, and safer.

讓我們的特技表演更容易、安全。

We can do bigger car stunts than ever before now.

讓我們可以做曾經無法想像的大工程。

Being run over is never easy.

被車子碾過去可不輕鬆。

That's an old-fashioned, hard, gritty, physical stunt.

那是個老式，困難需要堅韌精神的身體特技。

But we have padding, and fantastic shock-absorbing things like Sorbothane --

但是現在我們有了保護墊，和奇妙的衝力吸收裝置比如Sorbothane（減震器的名字）

the materials that help us, when we're hit like this,

當我們被撞時，這些工具真的幫了我們不少，就像這樣，

not to hurt ourselves too much.

不會受到太大的傷害。

The picture in the bottom right-hand corner there

右下角的那幅圖

is of some crash test dummy work that I was doing.

是我曾做的用到假人的衝撞實驗。

Showing how stunts work in different areas, really.

測試如何在不同的衝撞中進行特技。

And testing breakaway signpost pillars.

測試對指示牌的衝撞。

A company makes a Lattix pillar, which is a network,

這是有一家公司做的lattix的柱子，網狀結構的

a lattice-type pillar that collapses when it's hit.

當受到撞擊是就會倒。

The car on the left drove into the steel pillar.

左邊的車撞到的則是鐵柱子。

And you can't see it from there, but the engine was in the driver's lap.

汽車引擎已經在駕駛位上了，你在這是可不清楚的。

They did it by remote control.

當然我們是用遙控操作的。

I drove the other one at 60 miles an hour, exactly the same speed,

我以60英里的速度駕駛另一輛車，和另一輛車是一樣的速度，

and clearly walked away from it.

然後精確的避開了另一輛車。

Rolling a car over is another area where we use technology.

錯車特技是另一個我們使用了科技的領域。

We used to have to drive up a ramp, and we still do sometimes.

我們以前需要開上一個斜坡。現在有時也這樣。

But now we have a compressed nitrogen cannon.

現在我們有了氮氣壓縮炮的裝置。

You can just see, underneath the car, there is a black rod on the floor

你可以看到在車得底下，靠著另一輛車的輪子

by the wheel of the other car.

有一個黑色的棒狀物在地上。

That's the piston that was fired out of the floor.

那是從裝置中打出來的活塞。

We can flip lorries, coaches, buses, anything over

運用到氮氣壓縮炮

with a nitrogen cannon with enough power. (Laughs)

我們可以把卡車、旅遊大巴、公交車任何一種車。

It's a great job, really. (Laughter)

這真的是一件大工程。

It's such fun!

我們樂在其中！

You should hear

（笑聲）

some of the phone conversations that I have with people

你真該聽聽我和別人在商店里用藍牙

on my Bluetooth in the shop.

的對話。

"Well, we can flip the bus over, we can have it burst into flames,

“行，我們可以把巴士弄飛起來，我們可以把它炸掉，

and how about someone, you know, big explosion."

接下來，再來一次大爆炸，如何？”

And people are looking like this ...

其他人就這樣看著我...

(Laughs)

（笑聲）

I sort of forget how bizarre some of those conversations are.

我自己都忘了我的這段對話對他人來說是多麼的奇怪。

The next thing that I'd like to show you is something that

下一個我想向你們展示的是

Dunlop asked me to do earlier this year

在今年年初，鄧祿普邀請我

with our Channel Five's "Fifth Gear Show."

與第五頻道Fifth gear節目一起完成的

A loop-the-loop, biggest in the world.

世界上最大的大轉輪。

Only one person had ever done it before.

在我們之前也只有一個人做過這個特技。

Now, the stuntman solution to this in the old days would be,

以前特技演員在這個特技的方法將是，

"Let's hit this as fast as possible. 60 miles an hour.

“速度越快越好，60英里每小時

Let's just go for it. Foot flat to the floor."

好就那麼去做。踩住油門。”

Well, you'd die if you did that.

但是，這要你那樣做，不出意外會丟了性命。

We went to Cambridge University, the other university,

我們去了劍橋大學和其他幾所大學，

and spoke to a Doctor of Mechanical Engineering there,

在哪裡，我們拜了一位工程學博士，

a physicist who taught us that it had to be 37 miles an hour.

他告訴我們汽車的速度要在37英里每小時。

Even then, I caught seven G

儘管那樣，我也承受了7倍的重力，

and lost a bit of consciousness on the way in.

在駕駛時，出現了輕微失去意識的癥狀。

That's a long way to fall, if you get it wrong. That was just about right.

如果你做錯了，那將會是一個漫長的降落。只能正確。

So again, science helps us, and with the engineering too --

又一次，科技幫助了我們，當然還有工程學。

the modifications to the car and the wheel.

車子和車輪的調整全靠它了。

High falls, they're old fashioned stunts.

高空墜落，一項老式的特技。

What's interesting about high falls

高空墜落中科技有幫到了我們什麽？

is that although we use airbags,

儘管我們還是使用的充氣囊，

and some airbags are quite advanced,

但是現在的充氣囊要先進一些，

they're designed so you don't slip off the side like you used to,

它們是專門設計過的，假如你著地有些問題

if you land a bit wrong. So, they're a much safer proposition.

你也不會像以前那樣滑下去。現在的氣囊是有更高的安全性的。

Just basically though, it is a basic piece of equipment.

很基礎的想法，也是一件很基礎的工具。

It's a bouncy castle

就是一個大氣墊

with slats in the side to allow the air to escape.

在裏面有一個百葉板能讓空氣穿過，并起到減速的作用。

That's all it is, a bouncy castle.

這就是一個氣墊的全部

That's the only reason we do it. See, it's all fun, this job.

這是我們做它的唯一原因。而且這工作也很好玩。

What's interesting is we still use cardboard boxes.

有一件挺有趣的事是我們還在使用硬紙箱。

They used to use cardboard boxes years ago and we still use them.

以前人們常用，我們也用。

And that's interesting because they are almost retrospective.

這事十分有趣在於硬紙箱基本是重複利用的。

They're great for catching you, up to certain heights.

它們可以很好的接住你，當你從一定高度降落時。

And on the other side of the fence,

另一方面，

that physical art, the physical performance of the stuntman,

特技演員的身體藝術和表演

has interfaced with the very highest

在極大的程度上

technology in I.T. and in software.

被I.T.和軟件技術影響著。

Not the cardboard box, but the green screen.

不是硬紙箱，而是綠色的屏幕。

This is a shot of "Terminator," the movie.

這是電影終結者中的一幕。

Two stunt guys doing what I consider to be a rather benign stunt.

兩個特技演員正在做一項對我而言不那麼危險的特技。

It's 30 feet. It's water. It's very simple.

這只有30碼，有水，很簡單。

With the green screen we can put any background in the world on it,

但是有了那個綠色的屏幕，我們就可以把背景換為世界上任后一個地方。

moving or still,

靜止的或動態的，

and I can assure you, nowadays you can't see the joint.

我可以想你保障，如今是沒有人可以看出合成的痕跡來的。

This is a parachutist with another parachutist doing exactly the same thing.

這有兩個羅傘者在做跟剛剛那副圖片中一樣的過程。

Completely in the safety of a studio,

在完全安全的工作室中

and yet with the green screen we can have some moving image that a skydiver took,

在綠屏的幫助下，我們就可以擁有一位真正的跳傘者所拍的動態影響，

and put in the sky moving and the clouds whizzing by.

並且做出白雲飄過的動態的天空。

Decelerator rigs and wires, we use them a lot.

減速器和纜線我們常用的道具。

We fly people on wires, like this.

像這樣，我們可以把一個用纜線飛起來。

This guy is not skydiving. He's being flown like a kite,

這位演員並沒在做跳傘而是在像一個風箏一樣飛，

or moved around like a kite.

或者說是像一個風箏一樣移動。

And this is a Guinness World Record attempt.

這是一吉尼斯紀錄的嘗試。

They asked me to open their 50th anniversary show in 2004.

他們邀請我為這次2004年的50周年紀念活動剪綵做的表演。

And again, technology meant that I could do the fastest abseil over 100 meters,

再一次，科技讓我做到了以最快的速度下降100米，

and stop within a couple of feet of the ground

並在離地面幾碼的地方停下來，

without melting the rope with the friction,

爾繩子卻在摩擦力下沒有融合，

because of the alloys I used in the descender device.

全都靠在下滑裝置中的合金。

And that's Centre Point in London.

那是在倫敦的中心。

We brought Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road to a standstill.

牛津路和托特納姆法院路上的行人都被我的表演吸引了。

Helicopter stunts are always fun,

有直升機假如的特技總是很有趣，

hanging out of them, whatever.

懸在直升機外面，無論怎樣都很有趣。

And aerial stunts. No aerial stunt would be the same without skydiving.

然後是空中特技。沒有任何空中特技能像跳傘一樣。

Which brings us quite nicely to why I'm really here today:

很好的銜接到了我今天來這的真正原因。

Project Space Jump.

太空跳傘計劃。

In 1960, Joseph Kittenger of the United States Air Force

在1960年來美國空軍的自約瑟夫·肯泰格

did the most spectacular thing.

做出的一項壯舉。

He did a jump from 100,000 feet, 102,000 to be precise,

他從10000碼的高度更準確來說10200碼的高度跳落。

and he did it to test high altitude systems

他做這個是爲了測試

for military pilots

在80000碼或以上飛行的新一代飛機中

in the new range of aircraft that were going up to 80,000 feet or so.

給軍事飛行員用的高緯系統。

And I'd just like to show you a little footage

我想先向你們展示一小段影片

of what he did back then.

關於他當時做了什麽。

And just how brave he was in 1960, bear in mind.

并幫助你們記住他在1960年的那次跳傘中是多麼的勇敢。

Project Excelsior, it was called.

這被稱為Excelsior計劃。

There were three jumps.

計劃中包括三跳，

They first dropped some dummies.

第一跳是假人實驗。

So that's the balloon, big gas balloon.

好，這就是那個大氣球。

It's that shape because the helium has to expand.

它呈那個形狀是因為氦氣的膨脹。

My balloon will expand to 500 times

我的氣球將膨脹500倍，

and look like a big pumpkin when it's at the top.

在升到很高時會看起來像一個南瓜。

These are the dummies being dropped from 100,000 feet,

這就是那些從10000碼高度降下的假人。

and there is the camera that's strapped to them.

這是與他們綁在一起的相機記錄的影響。

You can clearly see the curvature of the Earth at that kind of altitude.

在那樣一個高度，你可以清楚的看到地球的弧形。

And I'm planning to go from 120,000 feet,

然後我準備到12000碼這樣的一個高度。

which is about 22 miles.

大概就22英里。

You're in a near vacuum in that environment,

你在是處在真空環境

which is in minus 50 degrees.

而且氣溫也在零下50攝氏度。

So it's an extremely hostile place to be.

可以想像這將是一個極度危險的環境。

This is Joe Kittenger himself.

這是他本人。

Bear in mind, ladies and gents, this was 1960.

先生們，女士們記住這是1960啊。

He didn't know if he would live or die. This is an extremely brave man.

他不知道自己是否能活著回來，他真是一個勇敢的人。

I spoke with him on the phone a few months ago.

我在幾個月前跟他通了一次電話。

He's a very humble and wonderful human being.

他是一位謙遜的人。

He sent me an email, saying, "If you get this thing off the ground

他給我發來了封email寫道“如果你要實行這個計劃的話，

I wish you all the best." And he signed it, "Happy landings,"

我祝你成功”並在在後寫上了“降落愉快。”

which I thought was quite lovely.

我認為十分友愛的表達。

He's in his 80s and he lives in Florida. He's a tremendous guy.

他現在已經80歲了，住在佛羅里達。他真是個了不起的人。

This is him in a pressure suit.

這是他在沖壓力衣。

Now one of the challenges of going up to altitude is

目前上升到12000碼這樣一個高度的一個挑戰是

when you get to 30,000 feet -- it's great, isn't it? --

當你到了30000碼時，聽起來很帥吧？

When you get to 30,000 feet you can really only use oxygen.

當你到了30000嗎你就只能用氧氣瓶了。

Above 30,000 feet up to nearly 50,000 feet,

當到了30000到50000碼時

you need pressure breathing, which is where you're wearing a G suit.

你就需要加壓呼吸了，這是你為何要穿上重力服。

This is him in his old rock-and-roll jeans there,

這是他穿著他的老式搖滾牛仔褲，

pushing him in, those turned up jeans.

看這，捲起的牛仔褲。

You need a pressure suit.

你是需要一套壓力裝置的，

You need a pressure breathing system

需要一個壓力呼吸裝置

with a G suit that squeezes you, that helps you to breathe in

一套重力服會撐你，這樣會幫助你吸氣，

and helps you to exhale.

幫助你吐氣。

Above 50,000 feet you need a space suit, a pressure suit.

當你升到了50000碼以上你就需要一套太空服，一套壓力服。

Certainly at 100,000 feet no aircraft will fly.

到了10000碼時，是沒有任何飛行工具能到達那樣一個高度，

Not even a jet engine.

甚至是噴氣飛機。

It needs to be rocket-powered or one of these things,

他必須要有火箭的動力，或和它類似的，

a great big gas balloon.

一個巨大的氫氣球。

It took me a while; it took me years to find the right balloon team

我費了好幾年才找到了合適的氣球製作團隊

to build the balloon that would do this job.

去做一個合適這次計劃的大氣球。

I've found that team in America now.

這個團隊是我在美國找到的。

And it's made of polyethylene, so it's very thin.

氣球將由聚乙烯製成，所以會很薄。

We will have two balloons for each of my test jumps,

我們每次試驗跳傘都將用兩個氣球，

and two balloons for the main jump, because they

並在主要的那次跳傘時使用兩個氣球，

notoriously tear on takeoff.

因為在降落時它們壞掉了。

They're just so, so delicate.

他們實在實在是它精細的。

This is the step off. He's written on that thing,

這是跳下時的一幕，他正在寫

"The highest step in the world."

“這是世界上最高的跳臺。”

And what must that feel like?

那會是怎麼的感受？

I'm excited and I'm scared,

肯定會又興奮又害怕吧，

both at the same time in equal measures.

兩種同樣程度的感受。

And this is the camera that he had on him as he tumbled

然後這是在他跳下時他身上的鏡頭。

before his drogue chute opened to stabilize him.

在他的減速傘打開去平穩他的下降之前，

A drogue chute is just a smaller chute which helps to keep your face down.

一個小的用來幫助他臉部朝下的減速傘打開了。

You can just see them there, popping open.

你可以看到它們砰的一下打開了。

Those are the drogue chutes. He had three of them.

這是減速傘，他裝備了三個。

I did quite a lot of research.

我可是做了不少研究。

And you'll see in a second there, he comes back down to the floor.

你可以看到，他在一瞬間就回到了地面。

Now just to give you some perspective of this balloon,

現在給你們看看這個氣球的願景像。

the little black dots are people.

黑色的小點就是人。

It's hundreds of feet high. It's enormous.

它很巨大，有幾百碼之高。

That's in New Mexico.

這是在新墨西哥州。

That's the U.S. Air Force Museum.

這是美國空軍博物館。

And they've made a dummy of him. That's exactly what it looked like.

它們做了一個他的假人，真像。

My gondola will be more simple than that.

我的吊艙將會更簡單，

It's a three sided box, basically.

基本上是一個三面的箱子。

So I've had to do quite a lot of training.

所以我要做許多的訓練，

This is Morocco last year in the Atlas mountains,

這是去年在摩洛哥的阿特斯山脈，

training in preparation for some high altitude jumps.

為高空跳傘做一些準備。

This is what the view is going to be like

這將會是我在90000碼

at 90,000 feet for me.

看到了景色。

Now you may think this is just

也許你現在會認為

a thrill-seeking trip, a pleasure ride,

這僅僅是一個尋求刺激，有趣的旅程，

just the world's biggest stunt.

僅僅是世界上最大的特技表演。

Well there's a little bit more to it than that.

但是他的意義比這要更多一些。

Trying to find a space suit to do this

爲了去找的合適的太空服去完成跳傘

has led me to an area of technology

把我引向了科技的領域

that I never really expected when I set about doing this.

我從來沒有想過我會去做那樣的事。

I contacted a company in the States

我聯繫了一家在美國的公司

who make suits for NASA.

為NASA(美國國家航天局)做宇航服的公司

That's a current suit. This was me last year with their chief engineer.

這就是現在的主流宇航服。這是去年我和他們的主工程師的合影。

That suit would cost me about a million and a half dollars.

這樣一件宇航服將花掉我150萬美金。

And it weighs 300 pounds and you can't skydive in it.

但是它重300磅你是不可能穿著它跳傘的。

So I've been stuck. For the past 15 years I've been trying to find a space suit

就這樣我被卡住了。在過去的15年中我一直在找一件

that would do this job, or someone that will make one.

可以完成我的需求的宇航服，或專家誰可以做一件。

Something revolutionary happened

建在不久前，同一個工廠里

a little while ago, at the same facility.

突破性的進展發生了。

That's the prototype of the parachute. I've now had them custom make one,

這是那件宇航服的原型。我已經訂做了一件。

the only one of its kind in the world. And that's the only suit of its kind in the world.

這是這個世上唯一一種宇航服，也是這個世界上唯一的一件。

It was made by a Russian that's designed

一位為蘇聯設計了

most of the suits of the past

18年宇航服

18 years for the Soviets.

設計了它。

He left the company because he saw,

他離開了他曾經的公司因為他

as some other people in the space suit industry,

，和其他一些在宇航服行業中人士一樣，

an emerging market for space suits for space tourists.

看到了一為太空遊客做宇航服的新興市場。

You know if you are in an aircraft at 30,000 feet

大家很清楚在飛行在30000碼高度的飛機中

and the cabin depressurizes, you can have oxygen.

艙內減壓的感覺，您仍能呼吸氧氣。

If you're at 100,000 feet you die.

但是在10000碼時你就死了。

In six seconds you've lost consciousness. In 10 seconds you're dead.

6秒中內你會死去意識，10秒中就會死亡。

Your blood tries to boil. It's called vaporization.

你的血液將沸騰，并氣化。

The body swells up. It's awful.

你的身體會漲起來，這非常可怕。

And so we expect -- it's not much fun.

就如我們所感受的那樣—這一點也不有趣。

We expect, and others expect,

我們希望，其他人希望

that perhaps the FAA, the CAA

也許FAA和CAA也會說

might say, "You need to put someone in a suit

"我們需要把人放在不那麼腫大的宇航服里

that's not inflated, that's connected to the aircraft."

并可以和航天器連接

Then they're comfortable, they have good vision, like this great big visor.

還有他們要舒服要有一個好的視野，就像一個巨大的面罩。

And then if the cabin depressurizes

假若艙內減壓了
