Have yu ever lved a destinatin but culdn’t figure ut why— r even a way — t express yur feelings? That's my dilemma with Mrcc.

In the magnificent range f muntains f nrthern Califrnia,42 radi telescpes pint twards the stars, scanning fr signs f life. The Search fr Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)Institute has been listening fr a signal here since it was funded in 1984. Jill Tarter, its c-funder, says the prgramme's aim is nt just t cmmunicate with remte civilizatins. It is als t remind human beings f their wn mdest,fragile (脆弱的) place in the universe.

Human music has been sent t space in 1977. Distant beings can in thery already enjy Peruvian panpipes, Bach, Beethven and mre. But n previus ffering, and perhaps n cmpsitin undertaken anywhere, has tried t encmpass the entire diversity f the human sng. Mr. Santiag says he is thrilled abut bringing tgether cntributrs frm arund the glbe.“Unlike ther recrdings sent int space."says Mr. Santiag,“everyne's invited. Yu dn't have t be ne f the main cmpsers f ur histry like Beethven, just smene singing in their shwer." Dwnlad the “Earthling Prject" app, sing up t three sngs f 30 secnds each, and yur vice will be sent int space.

C. It intends t create a human chrus.
D. It tries t develp a universal language.

"This is by far the best ne,"said Claytn, vice president f Blue Origin."Let's fcus right nw n prtecting the Earth envirnment, and then we'll g frm here. Space science and technlgy shuld be peple-centric and applicatin-centric, and fcus n imprving human life. We need t have a strng fting n the Earth,learn t slve the day-t-day prblems f the sciety.”
“Space technlgy can help achieve the 17 sustainable develpment gals t he achieved by2030 set by the United Natins. Satellite mnitring can really help with agriculture." said Victria, CEO f a cmpany wrking n sustainable develpment.“Thrugh Glbal Navigatin Satellite System, animals' mvement infrmatin recrded n self-recharging devices can be transmitted t the cmpany's server. Farmers can be alerted in real time if anmalies (反常现象)are detected. We can use it t ensure the traceability f the entire meat chain. As a result, it enables cnsumers t knw that the beef they are eating des nt cme frm prtected areas r the cattle dn't cntribute t defrestatin."
As early as 2007, Michael Griffin, frmer Administratr f NASA, put frward the cncept f the “space ecnmy” in a speech. He is very ptimistic abut the market prspect f cmmercial space and said. “Accrding t the latest data. the glbal space industry culd reach $I trillin in 2040,up frm $378 billin currently. I believe mre business mdels and space activities will be created in the future t achieve the ecnmic scale f $1 trillin."
As an entrepreneur(创业者)herself, Victria thinks the thriving space market will bring cuntless pprtunities fr entrepreneurs. She mentined future settlements n Mars r n the Mn.“If we are ging t develp a new sciety utside the Earth, we will need all types f applicatins and all types f startups. But cming back t the Earth, there are s many prblems that need t be slved, and space technlgy can really help with that.”
