Theory Mount of electoral votes the state gets is determined by how many representatives they have in Congress.

If a candidate gets the most votes in a state, they get the electoral votes for that state, except in Nebraska and Maine, where they are awarded based on a statewide and district results.

如果某位候選人在某州獲得最多選票，他們就能獲得該州的選舉人票，但內布拉斯加州和緬因州除外，這兩個州的選舉人票是根據全州和地區的選舉結果獲得的。

12th trivia which of these NASA missions was launched in 1977 Skylab, Galileo, Voyager or Viking, two unmanned spacecraft were launched as part of the Voyager missions in 1977 on.

12日小知識這些美國宇航局的任務中有哪些是在1977年發射的Skylab、Galileo、Voyager或Viking，這兩個無人航天器是作為Voyager任務的一部分於1977年發射的。

Both of them are still out there, farther away from the Earth than Pluto's, still gathering info about the universe more than 40 years after they launched the cost of the mission.

它們兩個都還在那裡，比冥王星的離地球更遠，在它們啟動成本任務40多年後，仍然在收集有關宇宙的資訊。

When converted to today's dollars is roughly two billion, and it's not just sending data back.

換算成今天的美元大概是20億，而且不僅僅是發數據回來。

The two spacecraft are also carrying info about Earth.

這兩個航天器還攜帶著有關地球的資訊。

Gold plated copper discs with instructions for how to play them are also on board Voyager.

旅行者號上還有鍍金銅盤，並附有玩法說明。

In case they're picked up by anything that wants to know about human life.

以防他們被任何想了解人類生活的人發現。

研究人員表示，這種可能性非常小。

They compare the disks to a tiny message in a bottle thrown into the greatest expanse of oceans.

他們把這些磁盤比作一個瓶子裡的小資訊，扔進了最廣闊的海洋裡。

But they include greetings in 55 languages, music natural and man made sounds.

We could not have claimed to know what was in our own solar system until Voyager conducted its tour.

在旅行者號進行巡視之前，我們不能宣稱知道我們自己的太陽系裡有什麼。

Across the outer solar system, people often describe it as one of mankind's greatest journeys.

穿越外太陽系，人們常常把它描述為人類最偉大的旅行之一。

It is certainly the farthest and longest forager was originally conceived as a tour of all the giant planets, because all the giant planets were aligned in 1977 and you could go from one to the other, and that alignment was very rare.

它當然是最遠最長的覓食者，最初的設想是所有巨行星的遊覽，因為所有的巨行星在1977年都是對齊的，你可以從一顆行星到另一顆行星，這種對齊是非常罕見的。

That alignment happens once every 176 years.

Uh, it ended up that Congress only approved the mission to Jupiter and Saturn.

呃，最後國會只准許了木星和土星的任務。

But the engineers and the scientists were very ingenious, and they designed and built the instruments to endure the flights to Uranus and Neptune just on the off chance that the mission would be approved for that long.

但工程師和科學家們非常巧妙，他們設計和製造了儀器，以承受飛往天王星和海王星的飛行，只是在萬一任務能被準許那麼久的情況下。

And it's remarkable to remember what we did not know about our own solar system.

而且記得我們對自己的太陽系不瞭解的事情，這很了不起。

We knew nothing about the structure and Saturn's rings.

Neptune is 30 times farther away from the sun than the Earth is, and even in the most powerful telescopes at the time was just a small dot of blue.

海王星離太陽的距離是地球的30倍，即使在當時最強大的望遠鏡中也只是一個藍色的小點。

It's famous picture the pale blue dot of Earth right before it departed and went on its way outside beyond the planets.

正是由於這些原因，我認為可以說旅行者號是行星編程中的11號西婭-波洛。

Flying V不只是一把歷史悠久的吉他。

It's also a model aircraft and a possible glimpse of what's to come.

Dutch engineers recently gave this design a test flight passengers, fuel and cargo would all fit inside the wings, and the Flying V would theoretically save fuel over the modern tried and true jet design.

荷蘭工程師最近給這種設計做了一次試飛，乘客、燃料和貨物都可以裝在機翼內，理論上，"飛行五號 "將比現代嘗試過的噴氣式飛機設計節省燃料。

It's prone to Dutch role, which is described as being like ice skating and can lead to rough landings.

它容易出現荷蘭角色，被形容為像滑冰一樣，會導致粗暴的降落。

And, of course, the engineers want all the landings to be happy ones down to the letter, the letter V so they won't let this V as it is.
