在今天的儿童新闻快讯中，无论你怎么看，太空如今都备受追捧。

In today's Kid News Kicker, no matter how you slice it, space is a hot ticket these days.

NASA即将在五十年来首次派遣四名宇航员前往月球附近，而在电影方面，以太空为背景的《星际过客》也大获成功。

NASA's about to send four astronauts near the moon for the first time in fifty years, and in the movies, the space based Project Hail Mary is knocking it out of the park.

在片中，瑞恩·高斯林饰演一位科学老师，他与一名外星人合作解决一场宇宙之谜。

这位名叫洛克伊的外星人是电影的 breakout 明星，据《纽约时报》称，他最令人喜爱的特质竟然是偶然形成的。

That alien, whose name is Rocky, is the movie's breakout star, and his most endearing quality, according to The New York Times, came about quite by accident.

主要木偶师兼配音演员詹姆斯·奥蒂兹原本以为洛克伊的家乡阿里德星球上的时间流逝比地球快，于是赋予了他蜂鸟般的活力。

The lead puppeteer and voice actor James Ortiz thought time on Rocky's planet, Arid, moves faster than on Earth, so he gave him a hummingbird energy.

经过数月的拍摄，他才发现虚构的阿里德星球上的时钟实际上比地球慢。

After months of filming, he found out that the clock on fictional Eid actually moves slower than on Earth.

正如奥蒂兹先生解释这一发现时所说：

As Mr.

在某个时刻，我想：‘好吧，那就让他焦虑一点吧。’这个错误显然取得了很好的效果。

Ortiz explains the realization, At some point, I said, well, he's just going to be anxious, okay?' That mistake clearly paid off.

洛克伊深受观众喜爱，这部制作成本达两亿美元的电影，全球票房已突破三亿美元。

Rocky is a fan favorite, and a movie that cost $200,000,000 to make has already brought in more than $300,000,000 worldwide.
