The space agency’s administrator, Jim Bridenstine, said before Wednesday’s
planned launch of two NASA astronauts aboard a SpaceX rocket that Elon Musk’
s company is already getting customers eager to blast off.

Cruise is one of them.
而汤姆克鲁斯是其中一个。
Bridenstine said he’ll leaving it to Cruise and SpaceX to provide the
mission details.
Jim Bridenstine说他会先让汤姆克鲁斯跟SpaceX谈好任务细节。
“I will tell you this: NASA has been in talks with Tom Cruise and, of
course, his team, and we will do everything we can to make it a successful
mission, including opening up the International Space Station,” he told The
Associated Press.
Jim Bridenstine跟相关媒体表示: "我这样告诉你好了，我们已经跟汤姆克鲁斯及他的团

NASA is supportive of anything that captures the imagination of the public.”

” is so SpaceX, Boeing and other private companies can attract customers
besides the U.S. government. That will drive down costs to American
taxpayers, he said, and increase access to space for all types of people —
celebrities included.

政府以外的客户，此举将减轻美国纳税人的负担，并且提供让人们像是明星名流等有机会

pilot because when I was in elementary school, I watched the movie ‘Top Gun,
’” the 44-year-old Bridenstine said.

海军飞行员"。
Cruise starred as Navy pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the 1986 film. A
sequel is due out later this year.
汤姆克鲁斯在1986的Top Gun饰演海军飞行员Maverick，而最近Top Gun续集正准备上映。
”The question is, ‘Can Tom Cruise make a new movie that inspires the next
generation Elon Musk.’ And if he can do that, then we’re all for it. NASA
is all in,” Bridenstine said.
Jim Bridenstine说" 问题是，能否汤姆克鲁斯的电影能够激励出下一个世代的Elon Musk
，如果他能做到这件事，那我跟NASA都将全力以赴"
A message to Cruise’s representative was not immediately returned.
