鸟不会飞这么高的。飞机不会飞这么快的。自由女神像的重量更轻。除了人类之外，没有任何物种能够理解正在发生的事情，就在一千年前，人类也无法理解。向太空发射火箭是一件令人敬畏和挑战描述的事件。图为本月早些时候，SpaceX公司的猎鹰9号火箭从佛罗里达州肯尼迪航天中心发射升空，搭载了成像x射线偏振测量探测器（IXPE）。IXPE计划观测高能物体，如中子星、黑洞和遥远星系的中心，以更好地确定产生和控制它们的物理和几何形状。这艘30多万公斤的火箭飞船从站立的位置开始，将IXPE抬起来绕地球飞行，因为地球外面的空气太稀薄了，无法呼吸。飞往太空的火箭现在每隔几天就从地球上的某个地方发射一次。发射更新：詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜

Birds don't fly this high. Airplanes don't go this fast. The Statue of Liberty weighs less. No species other than human can even comprehend what is going on, nor could any human just a millennium ago. The launch of a rocket bound for space is an event that inspires awe and challenges description. Pictured here, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center, Florida earlier this month carrying the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). IXPE is scheduled to observe high-energy objects such as neutron stars, black holes, and the centers of distant galaxies to better determine the physics and geometries that create and control them. From a standing start, the 300,000+ kilogram rocket ship lifted IXPE up to circle the Earth, where the outside air is too thin to breathe. Rockets bound for space are now launched from somewhere on Earth every few days. Launch Update: James Webb Space Telescope
