这或可堪比曼哈顿计划和阿波罗项目。
日本宇航探测总署称，由重三吨的轨道器进行的探测任务，又叫作月球学及工程探测器或SELENE是自美国阿波罗项目以来最为广泛的月球探测任务。
The mission by the three-tonne orbiter, also known as the Selenological and Engineering Explorer, or SELENE, was the most extensive mission there since the US Apollo programme, JAXA said.
“我们的设计基于阿波罗模型”，猎户座探测器主承包商-洛克希德。马丁公司的副总裁和项目经理塞利昂·拉瑟菲尔德(CleonLacefield)说道。
"We're anchoring our models in Apollo data points," says Cleon Lacefield, a vice President and project manager for Lockheed Martin, the prime contractor for the Orion orbiter.
这个项目的顶峰时40年前的今天（1969年7月20日），当时阿姆斯壮从阿波罗登月舱走到一片平静的海洋并迅速说完他的台词。
The zenith of that project was 40 years ago today on July 20th 1969, when Neil Armstrong stepped out of Apollo 11’s lunar module onto the Sea of Tranquillity, and promptly fluffed his lines.
公司还参与一些关键性的国家计划，如美国空间项目（一个新安装的IBM系统帮助挽救了受损的阿波罗13号）。
The firm also took part in such crucial national initiatives as America’s space programme (a newly installed IBM system helped save the stricken Apollo 13).
设计该项目的工程师们还希望，机器人在月球表面行走的场面将如同40年前阿波罗登月一样激励出新一代的科学家。
The engineers behind it also hope that the sight of a robot walking on the Moon would inspire a new generation of scientists, just as the Apollo landings did 40 years ago.
但是，当时进入航空航天领域阿波罗登月项目的工作前景使我十分心动，因为这一领域的工资要远远高于学术界。
However, I was very much taken with the prospect of working in the aerospace industry on the Apollo moon project with a salary much higher than academia offered.
