程度副詞

When it comes to getting into space, well we've been pretty much doing it one way.

基礎被動語態

Each year nearly 300 smaller rockets are used in scientific studies of near space.

反身代名詞

Rockets have taken animals into space to prepare for the day when man himself will make the trip.

But this woman thinks the way we should be getting there is balloons.

If you're going to do something really different

you cannot have the word 'impossible' in your vernacular.

And some people might have thought it was impossible for a balloon to safely transport

Things like research tools, chicken burgers and a Google executive.

But they were all made possible here in Tucson, Arizona at the World View headquarters.

So what's really kind of awesome about ballooning technology, it is so completely different

to the way people have thought about accessing space before.

There's no noise, it's completely silent and you're using gravity.

So what we've done is created this vehicle that can stay continuously over a location.

The "magic" starts with a Stratollite, a giant balloon filled with a gas like helium

Below that are smaller balloons filled with air which act as a ballast.

If there's more air inside them they get heavier and the Stratollite sinks down,

if there's less air the craft is lighter and moves up.

All of this allows the Stratollite to sail the winds of the stratosphere

and unlike traditional satellites, hold its position for days or even months at a time.

We have launch, all the instruments, the landing, all in the same vehicle.

And we can fly just about any instrument on it,

whether it's communications, weather instrumentation

So in the years to come, we're imagining that we can help millions, let's think big, billions

of people get online who currently can't be online.

the way we work with hurricanes and other severe storms, so that we can actually get

much better warnings of what's happening with these storms than we currently have now

And then we can even help the first responders

with communications and eyes in the sky and do this all around the world.

Poynter's space ambitions began with an earthbound adventure, Biosphere 2.

Living for two years and 20 minutes with seven other people inside a sealed-off dome,

designed to simulate life in a space colony.

One of the seminal experiences was being viscerally part of my biosphere, in a very literal way.

So we drank the same water over and over again.

We breathed the same oxygen over and over again.

So we were very literally part of our biosphere.

perspective of the planet that we live on.

It's very akin to the kind of experiences that astronauts have when they see the Earth

We wanted to find a way to really  give that to ourselves

So while governments and companies are using Stratollites to launch remote sensors and

cameras into the stratosphere, Poynter's ultimate goal is to send us all out there too.

If we can take people to space I think it's going to change many people's idea

The idea that we are all on this same planet together, and then what are people

and taking that experience and doing something great with it.

to be able to make that change in the world.
