One way for human missions to Mars is to set up a base on the moon to be used as a steeping-stone.

把人类送上火星进行探测的一种方法，是在月球上建立一个基地，用来作踏脚石。

By now, a rocket will have set off on its 35 million mile trip to Mars and scientists must be waiting anxiously for the results.

现在，一枚火箭可能已经开始了它的三千五百万英里的火星之行，科学家们一定在焦急地等待着结果。
