When the Ambassador of Escalopia returned home for lunch, his wife got a shock. He looked pale and his clothes were in a frightful state. ‘What has happed ?’asked his wife. ‘ How did your clothes get into such a mess?’ ‘A fire extinguisher, dear.’answered the ambassador drily. ‘ University students set the Embassy on fire this morning.’ ‘Good heavens.’exclaimed his wife. ‘And where were you at the time?’ ‘ I was in my office as usual.’answered the ambassador. ‘ The fire broke out in the basement. I went down immediately, of course.’ And that fool, Horst, aimed a fire extinguisher at me. He thought I was on fire. I must definitely get that fellow posted. The ambassador’s wife went on asking questions, when she suddenly noticed a big hole in his husband’s hat. ‘ And how can you explain that? asked his wife. ‘ Oh, that ?’said the ambassador. ‘ Someone fired a shot through my office window. Accurate, don’t you think?’ Fortunately, I wasn’t wearing it at the time. If I had been, I would not have been able to get home for lunch.

【NASA选择蓝色起源团队建造第二个人类登月系统】NASA（美国国家航空航天局）近日宣布，已选择Jeff Bezos的蓝色起源（Blue Origin）公司为即将到来的Artemis登月任务制造月球着陆器。根据一份新闻稿，作为34亿美元合同的一部分，在2029年为Artemis V任务进行载人演示之前，将有一次无载人的“演示任务”。
NASA said.目前，Artemis V任务的计划是让四名宇航员首先乘坐NASA的太空发射系统（SLS）火箭和Orion飞船飞往Gateway空间站。然后，两名宇航员将乘坐蓝色起源的蓝月亮（Blue Moon）着陆器前往月球，“前往月球南极地区进行为期约一周的旅行”。
NASA表示：“在NASA的Artemis计划中增加另一个人类着陆系统合作伙伴，将增加竞争，降低纳税人的成本，支持定期登月，进一步投资月球经济，并帮助NASA实现其在月球及其周围的目标，为未来的宇航员火星任务做准备。”
蓝色起源是第二家与NASA签订Artemis月球着陆器合同的公司。SpaceX公司是第一家，在2021年赢得了唯一的合同，蓝色起源公司在当年晚些时候就这一决定对NASA提起的诉讼中败诉。然而，NASA在2022年宣布，将开发第二个人类月球着陆器，并邀请航天公司提出建议。
SpaceX公司目前正在为该合同开发其星舰飞船。在四月份的一次试飞中，星舰突然起火。
