The space cadets' other hope, China, might pick up the baton.

太空学员们的另一个希望之地，中国，也许将拾起接力棒。

Today's space cadets will, no doubt, oppose that claim vigorously.

毫无疑问，今天的太空学员们会强烈反对这个声称。

The reason for that second objective is also the reason for thinking 2011 might, in the history books of the future, be seen as the year when the space cadets' dream finally died.

上面提到的第二个理由也许将成为另外一个理由，即未来的历史书将把2011年视作太空学员梦想破灭的一年。

Wealthy space cadets can already buy trips into orbit (the next such mission, run by a firm called Axiom Space, is due to take four astronauts to the International Space Station on May 21st).

富有的太空学员已经可以购买进入轨道的旅行费用（下一个此类任务由一家名为 Axiom Space 的公司运营，将于 5 月 21 日将四名宇航员送往国际空间站）。
