The first YouTube Space Lab contest has announced its winners. Young people entered by creating a short video of their idea for an experiment to be done in space. I was a judge. One of the two winners, eighteen-year-old Amr Mohamed of Egypt told me about his idea to have jumping spiders hunt their prey in orbit:

60秒科學(xué):YouTube大賽優(yōu)勝者的太空創(chuàng)意

首屆YouTube空間試驗(yàn)室大賽已經(jīng)宣布了優(yōu)勝者。年輕人將他們的太空試驗(yàn)創(chuàng)意錄制成視頻上傳到Y(jié)ouTube上。我是一名評(píng)判者。兩位優(yōu)勝者之一、來自埃及的18歲青年阿慕爾-穆罕默德告訴我,他的想法是讓跳蛛在太空中追捕他們的獵物:
“So I was reading an article about animals that have been in space, and there was the orb weavers. I thought that not all the spiders hunt the same way. Thus came the idea to send jumping spiders—they can adjust their trajectory here on earth to compensate for gravity. Well, they can realize that they don’t have to compensate for gravity anymore.”
“我讀過一篇文章,講的是太空中的動(dòng)物,動(dòng)物們還在太空軌道上織網(wǎng)。我認(rèn)為,并非所有的蜘蛛都用同樣的方式捕獵。于是我想到了地球上的跳蛛可以調(diào)整自己捕獵軌跡以抵消地球重力。好了,讓我們看看,在太空中當(dāng)它們無需抵消重力的時(shí)候是怎樣捕獵的吧。”
Amr got his idea and made his video in just one day. His experiment will actually be done on the International Space Station.
阿慕爾在想到這個(gè)創(chuàng)意之后的一天之內(nèi)就把它傳到了網(wǎng)上。國(guó)際空間站上將進(jìn)行他提出這個(gè)的試驗(yàn)。
AM: “And it’s going to be the first time in history for an animal to change its way of hunting to zero-gravity environments.”
阿慕爾:“這將是史上首次動(dòng)物在零重力環(huán)境下進(jìn)行狩獵的試驗(yàn)。”
MD: “While I was judging I saw it and I really enjoyed the idea.”
瑪麗艾特:“我當(dāng)評(píng)判人時(shí),我看到這個(gè)想法。我真地很喜歡這個(gè)創(chuàng)意。”
AM: “Thank you very much.”
阿慕爾:“非常感謝。”
