Scientists have sent spaceships to the plant of Mars to take photos. 科学家发射了航天器到火星上拍摄图片。

They even have sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. 甚至发射航天器到太阳系以外进行探索。

Scientists have always asked the question: With so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space?

Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? 是否有来自其他行星的人造访过地球？ Why has no one communicated with us? 为什么没有任何人与我们联络过？ We do not know the answers…yet.
