CNN News:冠状病毒疫情令人想起阿波罗13号事件

2020-06-12来源:和谐英语

Which is of these NASA astronauts did not walk on the moon? "Buzz" Aldrin, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, or James Lovell?
Though James Lovell never set foot on the moon, he did help the Apollo 13 crew get back to Earth safely.
That happened after a catastrophic explosion in an oxygen tank, and some would say getting Apollo 13's crew back home alive was a greater success than their original moon mission would have been.

The reason we bring that up is because some are comparing today's coronavirus pandemic to a global Apollo 13 moment. Houston, we've had a problem with an outbreak and now people around the world are doing what they can to overcome it.
For healthcare workers, this has meant additional around the clock shifts and around the clock risks. For teachers and parents who in some cases are now one in the same, this has meant finding ways to keep the learning going in a very different environment.
