The past few years found me working long hours at my marketing job while my husband, Steven,put in equally fall days as a physics tutor.The weekends were spent photographing weddings and portraits.While we were able to save some money,we were both burned out from the constant tiring work.

We felt the need for both renewal and vacation experiences.So,in January,we set out on a seven-month,cross-country road trip to visit all 61 National Parks in the United States.

Steven was ready to dive headlong into the unknown,while I,someone who enjoys more planned fun,had to adapt.I was amazed at how easily I turned to be a more relaxed version who wasn't worried where to park or sleep.We both became so accustomed to sleeping in the van,despite the foreign sound outside,which we eventually let fade into white noise.

Over the course of our seven-month trip,several interruptions changed our route, including the government shutdown,which left the first 10 parks inaccessible. Another time,I fell ill and lost my voice right as we were heading to the Virgin Islands National Park.

Positively,while we've done photography professionally for years.this trip really helped us grow in our craft.From rapidly trying to shoot dolphins to lining up panoramic(全景的))shots,this trip was a photographer's dream.I never dared out into complete darkness to photograph nights capes,but the views of the Milky Way we managed to shoot were well worth it.

One of our big goals on this trip was to come away from each park with one spectacular image,something that pushed us both to become better artists in the process.That shared goal placed us on the same team:It brought us together,gave us more to talk about,and encouraged us to motivate each other along the way.

US cosmologist (宇宙学家) Carl Sagan once said: “Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns.”

For centuries, human beings have dreamed of traveling into space, orbiting (围绕......运行) our little blue planet, and appreciating incredible views of sunrises and sunsets. And soon, it seems that our dream will finally come true, as US startup Orion Span announced on April 6 that it planned to launch the first hotel in space in 2021. It will be ready to welcome guests the following year.

The space hotel, Aurora Station, will orbit 320 kilometers above Earth, circling it every 90 minutes. It’s capable of housing two crew members and four guests. The crew members will likely be former NASA astronauts who worked on the International Space Station. However, there’s a catch: Each guest must pay at least $9.5 million (60 million yuan) for a 12-day stay at the hotel.

Once aboard the Aurora Station, guests will find many exciting things to do. According to Orion Span, guests can enjoy the excitement of zero-gravity as they fly throughout the space hotel. They can watch 16 sunrises and sunsets every day and view the northern and southern auroras (极光) through the many windows. They can take part in research experiments like growing food, and even take it home as a souvenir. And they can stay in touch with their families and friends via a high-speed internet connection.

But most importantly, the trip will offer a real sense of what it’s like to live in space. “The premise (前提) of Aurora Station is for guests to live, feel, and [breathe] what it’s like to be an astronaut,” Frank Bunger, founder of Orion Span, told the Robb Report. “The food and drinks are freeze-dried products. It’s not going to be five-star dining … Fire and gas don’t work the same way in space as they do on Earth.”

To better prepare guests for space travel, the company will require a health screening and provide a three-month training program that helps guests understand basic spaceflight, orbital mechanics (轨道力学) and life in the pressurized environment of space.

Some may have doubts about the project, but the company even has plans to turn part of Aurora Station into private apartments. “Future Aurora owners can live in, visit, or sublease (转租) their space [apartment],” Bunger said in a news release. “This is an exciting frontier (待开发的领域) and Orion Span is proud to pave the way.”

【小题2】What can guests do on Aurora Station?
