3. Do you want to travel to space? Why or why not?

答案
1. Yes, I have. I've watched *The Wandering Earth 2*. It tells a story that humans build huge thrusters to push the Earth out of the solar system to find a new habitable cosmic environment when the sun is about to expand and devour the Earth, and lots of people spare no effort to save our home planet during the process.
2. In the vast space, stars are glowing celestial bodies like our sun, and there are 8 planets revolving around the sun in the solar system. Spaceships are powerful vehicles that help humans break away from the Earth's gravity to fly into deep space, and astronauts are well-trained professionals who carry out various space exploration missions in spaceships.
3. Yes, I do. Because I'm extremely curious about the mysterious space outside the Earth, I want to personally experience the weightless state in space, overlook our blue home planet from the universe, and see the real appearance of those distant celestial bodies that I can only observe through pictures on the Earth.
