特朗普总统强调了美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的雄心勃勃计划，即在未来两年内发射首艘核动力航天器前往火星，重申其政府推动扩大美国太空探索、最终将宇航员送上红色星球的决心。
President Donald Trump highlighted NASA's ambitious plans to launch its first nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars within the next two years, reaffirming his administration's push to expand American space exploration and eventually send astronauts to the Red Planet.
特朗普在位于佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角肯尼迪航天中心举行的UP峰会上发言，吹捧该任务是其政府拓展美国在太空存在感的更宏大雄心的一部分。
Speaking at the UP Summit at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., Trump touted the mission as part of his administration's broader ambitions to expand America's presence beyond Earth.
特朗普说：“在未来两年内，NASA将发射首艘核动力航天器前往火星。”总统将该任务描述为最终将美国宇航员送上火星的一步。他说：“我们将为宇航员在红色星球上插上星条旗铺平道路。”
"Within the next two years, NASA will launch the first ever nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars," Trump said. The president described the mission as a step toward eventually sending American astronauts to the planet. "We're going to be paving the way for astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the Red planet," he said.
计划中的任务正值NASA的“阿耳忒弥斯”计划旨在月球上建立长期人类存在、随后最终将宇航员送往火星之际。
The planned mission comes as NASA's Artemis program aims to establish a long-term human presence on the moon before eventually sending astronauts to Mars.
今年早些时候，宇航员在“阿耳忒弥斯II”任务中完成了绕月飞行。“阿耳忒弥斯III”任务计划于2027年在地球轨道测试航天器和着陆系统，而“阿耳忒弥斯IV”任务预计将于2028年初尝试登月，即在特朗普总统任期结束前。
Earlier this year, astronauts completed a lunar flyby during the Artemis II mission. Artemis III is scheduled to test spacecraft and landing systems in Earth orbit in 2027, while Artemis IV is expected to attempt a lunar landing in early 2028, before the end of Trump's presidential term.
特朗普还概述了其政府加速太空探索、建立持久的美国太空存在的计划，称美国“将在月球表面建立永久存在”。总统提到了他最近发布的《美国太空自由宣言》，该宣言主张美国人有权根据美国法律探索和定居地球之外的太空。
PETER NAVARRO: TRUMP'S ARTEMIS VISION IS NOW FLYING — AND CHINA IS PAYING ATTENTION Trump also outlined his administration's plans to accelerate space exploration and establish a lasting American presence beyond Earth, saying the U.S. "will establish a permanent presence on lunar soil." The president pointed to his recently issued "American Declaration of Freedom in Space," which asserts the right of Americans to explore and settle beyond Earth under U.S. law.
特朗普说：“就在这周，我发布了《美国太空自由宣言》，宣告整个太空向美国定居、美国文明和美国自由开放。”
"Just this week, I issued the American Declaration of Freedom in Space, proclaiming all of space opened for American settlement, American civilization, and American freedom," Trump said.
在介绍总统之前，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）局长贾里德·艾萨克曼也讨论了该航天机构的火星雄心和长期目标。
Before introducing the president, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman also discussed the space agency's Mars ambitions and long-term goals.
“我们将进一步探索太阳系，并更接近那下一次伟大的飞跃，”艾萨克曼说。
"We are going to venture farther into the solar system and move closer to that next giant leap," Isaacman said.
他将政府的最终目标描述为“美国宇航员在火星上插上星条旗”的那一天。政府此前已概述了更广泛的太空雄心，包括建立美国太空学院的计划，特朗普于8月宣布了该计划。拟建的该机构将为太空军、NASA和民用航天产业的职业生涯培养学生。特朗普还强调了他对美国太空探索的更广泛愿景。
He described the administration's ultimate goal as the day "American astronauts plant the Stars and Stripes on Mars." The administration has previously outlined broader space ambitions, including plans for a U.S. Space Academy, which Trump announced in August. The proposed institution would train students for careers in the Space Force, NASA and the civilian spaceflight industry. Trump also emphasized his broader vision for American space exploration.
“我们的使命是探索。我们的目的是建设，而我们的目标永远是胜利，”他说。
"Our calling is to explore. Our purpose is to build, and our aim is always to win," he said.
