it was Newton's ability to predict how the Moon orbits¹ the Earth that allowed us to take a giant leap.

牛顿所预言的月球围绕着地球运转的天赋，使我们取得了巨大的飞跃。

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

那是一个人的一小步，却是人类的一大步。

Newton's law of gravity was crucial² in allowing us to navigate³ from the Earth to the Moon.

牛顿的万有引力定律对我们从地球奔向月球是至关重要的。

Where are the keys? Now we're all ready and now you're stopping us. Because it's funny!

钥匙呢？我们已经准备就绪了，你别拍。真太搞笑了！

We're heading off across America, to try and solve the mystery of gravity.

I think the most exciting thing that we'd ever done, as the human race, is to land on the Moon.

我认为我们过去所做的最令人兴奋的事情是人类登月。

It happened just in my lifetime I was just over one year old when Armstrong and Aldrin touched down.
