CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA is rolling out the International Space
Station’s red carpet for Tom Cruise to make a movie in orbit.
NASA正準備讓湯姆克魯斯在近地軌道上拍攝電影。
The space agency’s administrator, Jim Bridenstine, said before Wednesday’s
planned launch of two NASA astronauts aboard a SpaceX rocket that Elon Musk’
s company is already getting customers eager to blast off.
本週三，NASA署長Jim Bridenstine在兩位NASA太空人搭乘的SpaceX火箭預備發射前說到
，Elon Musk的載人火箭已經讓很多人已經迫不及待的想要搭乘了。
Cruise is one of them.
而湯姆克魯斯是其中一個。
Bridenstine said he’ll leaving it to Cruise and SpaceX to provide the
mission details.
Jim Bridenstine說他會先讓湯姆克魯斯跟SpaceX談好任務細節。
“I will tell you this: NASA has been in talks with Tom Cruise and, of
course, his team, and we will do everything we can to make it a successful
mission, including opening up the International Space Station,” he told The
Associated Press.
Jim Bridenstine跟相關媒體表示: "我這樣告訴你好了，我們已經跟湯姆克魯斯及他的團
隊談了許久，當然我們會盡全力使這件事成真，包含開放國際太空站給他們使用"。
Asked about Cruise filming on the space station, Musk told “CBS This Morning,
” “Actually, I think that remains to be seen. We are supportive and I think
NASA is supportive of anything that captures the imagination of the public.”
Elon Musk被問到有關湯姆克魯斯想在國際太空站拍電影的事情時表示道: "實際上這件事
能否成行仍說不準，但SpaceX跟NASA對於能夠吸引大眾目光的事情都相當支持，
Bridenstine said the whole reason NASA created “this commercial marketplace
” is so SpaceX, Boeing and other private companies can attract customers
besides the U.S. government. That will drive down costs to American
taxpayers, he said, and increase access to space for all types of people —
celebrities included.
Jim Bridenstine說NASA創造了這個"商業市場"讓SpaceX跟波音等私人企業能夠吸引美國
政府以外的客戶，此舉將減輕美國納稅人的負擔，並且提供讓人們像是明星名流等有機會
前往太空。
“I don’t admit this very often ... but I was inspired to become a Navy
pilot because when I was in elementary school, I watched the movie ‘Top Gun,
’” the 44-year-old Bridenstine said.
44歲的Jim Bridenstine說道"我不常說到這件事，但我從小學看了Top Gun後就很想成為
海軍飛行員"。
Cruise starred as Navy pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the 1986 film. A
sequel is due out later this year.
湯姆克魯斯在1986的Top Gun飾演海軍飛行員Maverick，而最近Top Gun續集正準備上映。
”The question is, ‘Can Tom Cruise make a new movie that inspires the next
generation Elon Musk.’ And if he can do that, then we’re all for it. NASA
is all in,” Bridenstine said.
Jim Bridenstine說" 問題是，能否湯姆克魯斯的電影能夠激勵出下一個世代的Elon Musk
，如果他能做到這件事，那我跟NASA都將全力以赴"
A message to Cruise’s representative was not immediately returned.
湯姆克魯斯的經紀人並未回覆媒體的訊息。
