The bio-suit will also have a mind of its own. Thanks to recent breakthroughs in smart fabrics, micro-plastic electronics will be woven into the suit itself so that it will be able to sense the wearer's measurements, allowing the suit to mode itself precisely to his or her body.
生物太空服將能夠自我思考。多虧了近年來在智能纖維上的重大突破，微塑性電子產品將會應用到太空服里，這樣太空服就能感知穿者的尺寸，然后精確地自動調整，使宇航員穿上更加合身。
"Another great use of smart material is for physiological sensing. Smart wires in the suit would tell you your thermal temperature, how much oxygen you have been using."
“另一種對智能材料的偉大應用在于生理狀態感應。太空服內的智能導線會告訴你熱量溫度，以及剩下多少氧氣。”
Dr. Newman believes that in the near future these suits will be available to everyone and that everyone will have reason to wear one.
紐曼博士認為在不久的將來，任何人都有機會穿這種服裝，每個人都有理由穿它。
"I hope that you can go online, buy your bio-suit, do some exploration. I would love to see human mission tomorrow is in 2014, 2018, but absolutely by 2030."
“我希望你能上網買一套生物太空服去探險。我很樂意看到人類在2014年，2018年就實現這個使命，然而在2030年絕對能實現。”
"I believe that going to Mars is within my lifetime and I think we have the means and the technology to take us there, and to survive there."
“我相信在我有生之年能看到人類登陸火星，我們有方法技術作擔保，我們能在火星上存活。”
We're much closer today to be able to send humans to Mars than we were to be able to send man to the moon in 1961, and we were there 8 years later.
比起1961年將人類送上月球的可能性，今天將人類送上火星的可能性更大。1961年后人類又花了八年時間才到達月球。
And maybe that for human exploration of Mars is a long term task. I think of myself like maybe the architects or bricklayers did who first started building the Cathedrals in Paris. Those who first started never saw the final Cathedrals. But they were an important part of the process that led to that magnificent structure that we see today. Modern sense may be Mars' exploration is like that. And those of us working on it now take comfort in the fact that we're the first part of this longterm process.
也許人類的火星探險是一個長期的過程。我自己的觀點是，這就像建筑師或者磚瓦工在巴黎第一次開始修建大教堂。這些第一次開始嘗試的人絕看不到最終的大教堂。但是他們是造就這輝煌結構過程中的重要組成部分。火星探險也許是一樣的道理。現在正在刻苦鉆研的我們，可以從我們是第一批探索火星的人這一事實中找到安慰。
As exciting as going to Mars will be, there is one future journey that is even more awe-inspiring, a trip through time.
登錄火星將是何等的振奮人心。未來的旅途是一次穿梭時空的旅行，這將會更加令人驚嘆。
