Take two: Space travel
An dàrna turas: Siubhal-fànais
Let's have a look at this conversation again.
An cuala tu mu na billeanairean mar Musk, Branson is Bezos a bhios a' caitheamh airgead air siubhal fànais?
Have you heard about the billionaires like Musk, Branson and Bezos who spend money on (throw money at) space travel?
Chuala. Tha siubhal fànais a' cosg an t–uabhas airgid.
I have (heard). Space travel costs a lot of money.
Agus chan eil fhios aig duine a bheil sin fhèin a' dèanamh cron air an àrainneachd againn.
And no–one knows if that itself is harming our environment.
Nam biodh pailteas airgid agam, dhèanainn sin. Tha ùidh agamsa ann an rannsachadh phlanaidean ùra.
If I had plenty of money, I would do that. I am interested in exploring new planets.
Am bu toil leat a bhith a' fuireach ann am fànas?
Would you like to live in space?
Cha bu toil. 'S toil leam an Talamh, ged a tha trioblaidean is duilgheadasan gu leòr againn an seo.
I wouldn't. I like (the) Earth, although we have enough problems and difficulties here.
Agus nach bu chòir dhuinn sin a chur ceart mus dèan sinn milleadh air planaidean eile?
And shouldn't we fix those before we damage other planets?
Bu chòir, tha mi cinnteach.
We should, I'm sure.
Ach ma thèid speuradairean dàna thall thairis, mar gu biodh, ma dh'fhaodte gum faighear fuasgladh air cuid de na duilgheadasan sin.
But if bold astronauts go abroad, as it were, maybe some of these problems can be solved.
Ma dh'fhaodte gum faigh, ach am bi planaid ann dhaibh nuair a thilleas iad?
Maybe they can, but will there be a planet for them when they return?
Saoil an cuir na billeanairean ud tuilleadh airgid a–steach gu soithichean–fànais nas luaithe?
I wonder if those billionaires will put more money into faster spaceships?
Bidh sinn beò an dòchas.
We live in hope.
