138000 feet is not considered outer space Daily Mail! Also I thought the Brits adopted the metric system unlike us. Wouldn't they give out the height in meters? Correct me if I'm wrong please.

每邮啊，138000英尺哪里算是外太空！！我以为英国人采用米制呢，不像我们。他们不是以米为单位给出高度了吗？

中国是太空超级大国？让我们瞧瞧，他们使用旧联盟号技术，如果他们没有剽窃的话。他们远远落后于美国、欧洲、俄罗斯，甚至印度。

If they set their mind to it they are most likely to succeed. They have the engineering and most certainly have the intellects. Now they have declared the motivation. I wouldn't mocha their attempts and the odd failure for a moment.

如果他们费尽心思去做了，那他们很有可能成功。他们有工程，而且很可能有技术人才。现在他们宣布了动机。我一刻也不想将他们的尝试和古怪的失败联系在一起。

I know right and a jump suit tucked in to a pair of water proof boots. No way that suit I mean outfit can withstand the rigors of space needed for this.

这不就是连身衣塞入防水靴吗。这怎么行，起码要抵挡得住外太空的严峻环境才行。
