| 58 | Otherwise, things start to feel very zero sum. | 否则,事情就会变得零和 |
| 59 | The first real moves were when he bought Launcher. | 最初真正的动作是他买下"发射机"的时候. |
| 60 | Max Hote is an entrepreneur who started his own aerospace startup called Launcher. | 马克斯·霍特(英語:Max Hote)是一位企业家,他开始了自己的航空航天启动,称为"发射机". |
| 61 | It was developing a rocket and an engine, as well as created a few test satellites. | 它正在研制火箭和发动机,并制造了几颗试验卫星。 |
| 62 | And they launched those satellites into orbit, but both of those satellites suffered some kind of failure once they reached space. | 他们把这些卫星送入轨道, 但是这两颗卫星在到达太空后都遭遇了某种故障。 |
| 63 | This all raises the question if Vast is the one to create the next space station. | 这都引起了一个问题,如果瓦斯特是创建下一个空间站的人. |
| 64 | Other companies in the industry certainly have more of a space pedigree than Vast does. | 工业上的其他公司肯定比瓦斯特拥有更多的空间血统。 |
| 65 | For example, Axiom Space, their previous CEO, ran the International Space Station. | 例如,他们的前首席执行官Axiom Space管理国际空间站。 |

| 69 | multiple partner nations to work together to put it into space. | 多个伙伴国家将共同努力将其投入空间。 |
| 70 | For Vast, they've kind of gone from zero to 60 in a really short time frame, | 对于瓦斯特,他们已经从零到60 在非常短的时间范围内, |
| 71 | and they still need to develop the vehicles, the complicated technology, | 他们仍然需要开发车辆 复杂的技术 |
| 72 | and the physics that all go into keeping humans alive on a space station in orbit. | 在轨道上的空间站上 人类生存的物理原理 |
| 73 | One of the key facilities or the heart of our manufacturing capability and vertical integration is the machine shop. | 机器店是我们制造能力和纵向一体化的关键设施之一或核心。 |
| 74 | So this is the team and the machine that turn raw material into parts of the shape we need to then integrate on Heaven-1. | 所以,这是团队和机器 将原材料变成我们所需要的形状的一部分 然后在天堂1上融合。 |
| 75 | This machine is a pretty big mill that can do large parts, and it's literally sculpting. | 这台机器是一个相当大的磨坊,可以做大部件,而且其字面上是雕塑. |
| 76 | So you start with a big piece of metal, and you basically carve it using a mill. | 你从一大块金属开始, 基本上用磨坊来雕刻。 |
| 77 | This is probably one of the flight parts of Heaven-1 that will go to orbit. | 这可能是天堂一号的飞行部分之一 将会进入轨道。 |
| 78 | This specific part will take days to make. | 这一具体部分需要几天时间。 |
| 79 | Yeah, three days. | 对 三天 |

| 82 | If we purchase it, you know, maybe six months, and then sometime you're chasing it and it takes eight months. | 如果我们买了它,你知道, 也许六个月, 然后某天你正在追它, 它需要八个月。 |
| 83 | There's been a recent vertical integration trend in the space industry, | 最近航天工业出现了纵向融合的趋势, |

| 85 | Rather than source your components, you build everything in-house. | 与其提供你的组件, 你建立的一切内部。 |
| 86 | I'm assuming this is some kind of hatch. | 我想这是某种舱门 |
| 87 | There's not a lot of providers or market for buying space station hatch, | 买太空站舱门的供应商和市场并不多 |

| 89 | VAST are hiring people every day for every unit across their industry. | VAST公司每天为其行业的每个单位雇用人员。 |
| 90 | 就像Living Legend, Drew Faustel, 在NASA工作了23年的人, | |
| 91 | was the head of the astronaut crew. | 曾是宇航员组组长. |
| 92 | He actually worked on repairing the Hubble telescope in space before he retired. | 他实际上在退休前致力于修复太空中的哈勃望远镜. |
| 93 | So Drew accepting to come and work on VAST and help be a cheerleader for the company | 所以Drew同意来VAST公司工作 帮助他成为公司的啦啦队长 |
| 94 | shows that he certainly believes that they have a real shot of producing a genuine product. | 证明他肯定相信 他们有真正的机会生产真正的产品 |

| 96 | I have a good understanding of what works in space and what doesn't. | 我很清楚什么在太空里有效,什么在太空里无效。 |
| 97 | So what we developed here for our crew members is what I believe to be a more comfortable environment to sleep in. | 因此,我们在这里为船员们开发的 是我认为一个更舒适的环境 睡觉。 |
| 98 | A system that applies constant pressure over our bodies | 一个对我们的身体施加持续压力的系统 |
| 99 | so that we can experience sleep that's similar to what we experience on Earth. | 这样我们就能体验到与地球上经历的相似的睡眠. |
| 100 | I could fall asleep here. | 我可以睡在这里。 |
| 101 | So a key technology we need as a space station company is the ability to handle micrometeorite strike. | 因此我们作为空间站公司需要的关键技术 是处理微陨石撞击的能力。 |
| 102 | That might happen, so a small object in lower orbit that can arrive and potentially create a safety risk for the crew. | 这可能发生,所以一个小物体在低轨道上可以到达,并可能给船员带来安全风险. |
| 103 | Right, because just one tiny speck could be... | 对,因为只有一点小斑点... |
| 104 | Yes, and then after a strike like that you might have to abandon the space station, you might have to repair it. | 是的,然后在这样一次打击之后 你可能不得不放弃空间站, 你可能不得不修复它。 |
| 105 | And this has been designed so that if a projectile arrives, let's say at five kilometers per second, | 这是设计好的 如果投射物到达 假设每秒5公里 |
| 106 | a certain size can puncture this layer, it reaches this other layer, and then you can see the back. | 一定的尺寸可以刺穿这个层,它到达另一个层,然后可以看到后面. |

| 112 | That is sometimes a rarity. | 这有时是很罕见的。 |
| 113 | Yeah, this is neat. | 是啊,这是整洁的。 |
| 114 | In my opinion, this is the best part of the space station, right, is getting to look out the window. | 在我看来,这是空间站最好的部分, 对,是看窗外。 |
| 115 | This actual window there will go and be mounted on the qualification primary structure. | 这一实际窗口将挂在资格初级结构上。 |
| 116 | And if you'd like, you can, you know, try it. | 如果你愿意的话 你可以试试看 |
| 117 | It's the closest I'm going to get to space. | 这是我最接近太空的地方了 |
| 118 | So we don't have the vacuum of space outside you, but you can get a sense. | 因此,我们没有真空 空间在你之外, 但你可以得到感知。 |
| 119 | Haven One is still in its relative infancy, but you can see money being spent everywhere at that facility. | 已经 一个人还处于相对的婴儿期,但你可以看到钱被花在那个设施上。 |
| 120 | They're tripling their floor space at the moment. | 他们的地板现在增加了三倍 |
| 121 | It's incredible to see the speed that they're working at. | 看到他们工作的速度是不可思议的。 |
| 122 | They want to save the time, not the money. | 他们想要节省时间,而不是钱。 |
| 123 | So just to create this article, we created three times more than we needed so that if we had a problem, we could quickly make another ring, for example. | 因此,为了创造这篇文章, 我们创造了三倍于我们需要的, 这样,如果我们有问题,我们就可以快速制作另一个戒指,例如。 |
| 124 | Private industry needs to act fast. | 私营工业需要迅速采取行动。 |
| 125 | I would say comparing the cultures of NASA to any private sector company is really not an apples to apples comparison. | 我想说,将美国航天局的文化 与任何私营部门公司进行比较, 并不是苹果与苹果的比较。 |
| 126 | Government tends to be much slower in decision making. | 政府的决策往往要慢得多。 |
| 127 | It could be a very good thing that they're doing this way. | 他们这样做可能是件好事 |
| 128 | It could show other companies that you don't have to work out all the kinks before you can run, essentially. | 它可以向其他公司表明,你不需要 解决所有错误之前,你可以运行,基本上。 |
| 129 | Or it could be a giant example in hubris. | 也可能是傲慢中的一大例子。 |
| 130 | Eventually, NASA is going to select the finalists for the commercial LEO development contract in 2026. | 最终,NASA将在2026年选出商业低地球轨道开发合同的决赛选手. |
| 131 | Many of the competitors of VAST have been working on their space stations for much longer. | VAST的许多竞争对手在空间站上工作的时间更长. |
| 132 | 最大的一个是Axiom,Blue Origin,Voyager,然后是VAST. | |
| 133 | The NASA CLD contracts could be very lucrative for commercial companies potentially worth billions of dollars. | 美国航天局的合同对可能价值数十亿美元的商业公司来说可能非常有利可图。 |
| 134 | So for us, it's a matter of existence to win that competition. | 因此,对于我们来说,赢得这场比赛是存在的问题. |
| 135 | We don't think that without NASA as an anchor customer, right now the market is there for us to exist after that. | 我们不认为没有NASA作为主播客户, 现在的市场 是我们在那里存在之后。 |
| 136 | And I think that goes to show just how valuable NASA contracts still are. | 我认为这说明美国宇航局的合同仍然价值很高。 |
| 137 | So as vibrant and as influential as the commercial space economy has become, NASA is still the biggest player in town. | 因此,随着商业空间经济变得充满活力和影响力,美国宇航局仍然是镇上最大的球员. |
| 138 | But when it comes to getting anything into space right now, SpaceX is kind of your bread and butter. | 但是,当涉及到什么进入太空 现在,SpaceX 是一种你的面包和黄油。 |
| 139 | 而VAST与SpaceX有多个合同. | |
| 140 | It definitely caught the attention of the space industry. | 这确实引起了航天工业的注意。 |
| 141 | It's one thing to say that you're going to build a space station, and it's another to say, | 一种说法是你要建造一个空间站,另一种说法是: |
| 142 | hey, I've actually secured a launch contract to build this station and a contract to send people to it as well. | 嘿,我得到了一个发射合同 建造这个站 和一份合同 派人去它。 |
