That's not true.
這是錯的。
In seven years, we could pull off an industrial mission to Shackleton and demonstrate that you could provide commercial reality out of this in low-earth orbit.
七年之內，我們能夠勝利完成一項去沙克爾頓（有水的月球環形山）的工業計劃，顯示人類能利用月球能源在近地軌道上提供商業活動
We're living in one of the most exciting times in history.
我們正處在人類歷史上最令人興奮的時代之一。
We're at a magical confluence where private wealth and imagination are driving the demand for access to space.
我們處在一個魔幻般的交匯口，這里個人財富和想象力正推動著人們進入太空的需求。
The orbital refueling stations I've just described could create an entirely new industry and provide the final key for opening space to the general exploration.
我剛才描述的太空軌道加油站能夠創建一種全新的工業而且提供一把開啟全面探索太空之門的鑰匙。
To bust the paradigm a radically different approach is needed.
打破固有模式需要一種全新的方法。
We can do it by jump-starting with an industrial Lewis and Clark expedition to Shackleton crater,
我們可以發起一次象路易斯和克拉克穿越美國一樣具有歷史意義的對沙克爾頓環形山的工業探索，
to mine the moon for resources, and demonstrate they can form the basis for a profitable business on orbit.
以開采月球資源，證明它們可以成為在軌道上可盈利的商業活動的基礎。
Talk about space always seems to be hung on ambiguities of purpose and timing.
當人們討論太空探險時，似乎總是故意把目的和時限定得模模糊糊。
I would like to close here by putting a stake in the sand at TED.
作為結束，我現在就在TED作出承諾。
I intend to lead that expedition.
我志在領導這項太空遠征。
It can be done in seven years with the right backing.
有合適的支持，這件事可以在七年內完成。
Those who join me in making it happen will become a part of history and join other bold individuals from time past who, had they been here today, would have heartily approved.

Now we're at a time when boldness is required to move forward.
100年前歐內斯特沙克爾頓先生說過我們需要的是膽氣才能前進，
100 years after Sir Ernest Shackleton wrote these words,I intend to plant an industrial flag on the moon and complete the final piece that will open the space frontier, in our time, for all of us.
現在也是一樣，我要在月球表面插一面工業的旗幟。在我們的時代,為我們所有人,完成將會開啟航天邊疆之門的最后一項任務。
Thank you.
謝謝。
