Hello, and welcome to the English we Speak.
I'm Fei.
Fei.
And I'm Roy.
10, 9, 8, 7.
What are you doing?
And why are you dressed like an astronaut?
I'm practicing my countdown for when we head to the moon.
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
We have liftoff.
Please stop.
In this program, we're teaching the expression moonshot,
which refers to an ambitious project carried out without any expectation of short term profitability.
It does not mean we're going to the moon.
Where did you get that spacesuit from?
I found it in my garden.
That definition of moonshot makes more sense.
Now I understand why people have been talking about a moonshot vaccine.
