Moos to the Moon
What's this smelly thing? Ewww! It's cow poop! Scientists call it cow dung.
Most people want to throw it away. It smells bad! But guess what? It can be
very useful!
科學家把牛糞叫做 cow dung,牛糞雖然很臭,但其實非常有用!
In Japan, a space company wants to use cow dung fuel to make rockets fly!
Whoa!
日本有一家太空公司想把牛糞當作火箭的燃料。
Rockets need to fly very high and very fast. They need special fuel. Now a
gas company makes this fuel with cow dung!

The space company tested the rocket fuel. Its rocket shot out blue and orange
fire! Everyone was very happy. The rocket can work with the cow dung fuel!
太空公司測試這種燃料,成功點燃了火箭,噴出藍色、橘色的火焰。
Using cow dung for fuel is good. Cow dung is cheap. Farmers have lots of
it... and every day, there's mooooo-re! And using it instead of oil helps the
Earth.
牛糞燃料是個好主意,農夫每天都可以提供很多牛糞,而且它很便宜,用來取代燃油也很環保。

they can make energy from cow dung. They can make gas to heat homes and make
trucks go. And now they make the special rocket fuel!
