1.What do you think of the space exploration?
I am against exploring the space exploration.
I cannot understand spending all this money on expensive research and experiments when so many people need food. Around the world, millions of people are hungry and dying of starvation.
On the other hand, we hear on TV that for as little as a dollar a day, a child in Africa can be saved. Considering the billions spent on space travel, it just seems a better investment to feed the hungry.
2. If you are determined to be an astronaut, what should you prepare at present?
First of all, I should study hard to get a related college degree.
Besides, I must keep mental and physical healthy.
3. Do you think space is the final frontier? And why?
I don’t think so, because there is still so much to explore on earth. And we are only at the beginning of new technological breakthroughs involving information technology and SI. There are many scientific and technological frontiers all around us.
