Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts.The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station,so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week.How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids.But not just any kids.It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms,like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport,New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers.For the past two years,Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity,and they think they’re clo to a solution(解决方案).“We don’t give the students any breaks.They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold,a project manager.
“There are no tests,” Gordon says.“There is no graded homework.There almost are no grad
es,other than‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically,it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then,at the end of the year,prent it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person it’s not a very nice thing at times.It’s a hard business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills.“The kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back.I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem,readying a workable solution to test in space.

对宇航员而言，细菌是个恼人的问题。来自我们身上的微生物在空间站的表面无节制的生长，因此宇航员每周都要花几个小时来清理这些微生物。

（美国）国家航空和航天局是如何解决这个非常细小有重大的问题的呢？他们向一群高中学生求助。当然不是随随便便的高中生。这得取决于HUNCH高中的一些教室，比如科学老师Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg 在纽约Fairport那个地方的Fairport中学所领导的项目所在的教室。

建立HUNCH的目的旨在把高中教室和（美国）国家航空和航天局的工程师连在一起。过
去两年，Gordon的学生一直在研究失重情况下杀死病毒的办法，而且他们认为已经接近找到这种方法了。“我们没有给学生任何休息时间。他们要像（美国）国家航空和航天局的工程师一样做事情，”项目经理Florence Gold说道。
“There are no tests,” Gordon says.“There is no graded homework.There almost are no grades,other than‘Are you working towards your goal?’
“没有考试，”Gordon说道。“没有打分的作业。几乎没有成绩评定，出了一点：你是不是正朝着目标努力？”
Basically,it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then,at the end of the year,prent it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review,it’s not a very nice thing at times.It’s a hard business review of your product.”
基本上就是，我的拿出成果，接下来年底的时候，把它交给（美国）国家航空和航天局。（美国）国家航空和航天局工程师会来亲自检查，当然有的时候不是非常美好的事情。它是对你的成果的一次艰难的商业上的评估。

Gordon说HUNCH这个项目对大学录取以及实际生活技能都有影响。这些孩子如此沉浸在研究者以至于我只是袖手旁观。我不要叫他们怎么做。那么那些恼人的细菌呢？Gordon说他的学生每天给（美国）国家航空和航天局工程师发邮件告知这个细菌出了的问题，准备在太空进行测试的一个可行性的解决方案。
