What does the title “Space: The Final Frontier” mean to you Share your ideas with the whole class.
While I support space exploration, I don’t think space is the final frontier just yet. There is still much to learn about the Earth, and we are only at the very beginning of new technological breakthroughs involving information technology and AI. There are many scientific and technological frontiers all around us.
我們生在紅旗下，長在春風里，目光所至皆為華夏，五星閃耀皆為信仰，人民有信仰，國家有力量，民族有希望。欣逢盛世，當不負盛世，愿吾輩之青春，捍衛這盛世之中華!
We were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. Our people have faith, and our country has power. As far as we can see, It’s China. And the five stars on red flags shine because of our belief.
