第一个立方卫星是在2000年代初创建的，目的是使斯坦福大学的研究生能够设计、建造、测试和操作具有与苏联人造卫星类似功能的航天器。

The first Cube Sat was created in the early 2000s, as a way of enabling Stanford graduate students to design, build, test and operate a spacecraft with similar capabilities to the USSR's Sputnik.

So in order to fill them, he would have to have eight electrons or an octet around the cubes.

因此为了填满它们，他必须放上八个电子或者说一个“八隅体“,在立方体周围。

So, basically what he's showing in these cubes is that there are eight spaces that need to be filled up to have a full cube.

因此，基本上他在这里展示是这些立方体中一共有,八个位置，需要把它们都填满才得到一个完整的立方体。

And conceptually, the idea of cubing a value feels like you could package that up into a little box, a little tool that takes input, a value, and returns output the answer A* so you don't have to constantly do A star, A*A So this program ,at the end of today, is pretty much the same thing.

概念上，算一个值的立方就像是,你可以把一个值打包放在一个小盒子里,一个用来接收输入的工具,一个值，然后返回一个答案,所以你并不需要一直使用，等等。，A，star，，A，，and，so，forth。,这个程序，最后，是一个差不多的东西。
