The Mir Space Station was the first station to have people living on it at all times. After it was built, astronauts on Mir spent 15 years doing research about space. However, Mir could not stay in space forever. It cost a lot of money to send astronauts and supplies there. It was also not easy to keep Mir in good shape. Therefore, on this date in 2001, Mir was taken apart. It was destroyed by fire as it fell towards Earth. Even so, the research done on the Mir Space Station and the way it brought countries together means that it was an important part of space exploration history.
和平號太空站是首座 有人長駐上頭的太空站。和平號太空站建造完後,太空人在上頭從事太空研究達15年之久。然而和平號太空站無法永遠停留在太空中。運送太空人和補給品到那裡 所費不貲,而且和平號太空站的維護也不容易。因此,在2001年的今天,和平號太空站解體了。它朝地球墜落時因起火而燒毀。即使如此,在和平號太空站上所 做的研究以及它讓許多國家攜手合作的事蹟,在在顯示它是人類探索 太空的歷史上重要的一頁。
