I want to start off by saying, Houston, we have a problem. ||برای||شروع کردن||||||| |||||||Houston|||| Я хочу начать с того, что Хьюстон, у нас проблема. We’re entering a second generation of no progress in terms of human flight in space. |входим|||поколение|||||в отношении|в|||| |betreten||||||||||||| Wir treten in eine zweite Generation ein, in der es keine Fortschritte bei der bemannten Raumfahrt gibt. Мы вступаем во второе поколение без прогресса с точки зрения полета человека в космос. In fact, we’ve regressed. |||در واقع، پسرفت کرده‌ایم. |||Tatsächlich sind wir zurückgefallen. |||gone backwards |||regresado |||регрессировали Wir haben uns sogar zurückentwickelt. На самом деле мы регрессировали. We stand a very big chance of losing our ability to inspire our youth to go out and continue this very important thing that we as a species have always done. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||dělali vždycky |در معرض||||||||||الهام بخشیدن|||||||||بسیار|||||||گونه‌ها||| |||||||||Fähigkeit||||Jugend||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||в|| Es besteht die große Gefahr, dass wir unsere Fähigkeit verlieren, unsere Jugend dazu zu inspirieren, diese sehr wichtige Aufgabe, die wir als Spezies schon immer wahrgenommen haben, fortzuführen. У нас есть очень большой шанс утратить способность вдохновлять нашу молодежь выходить и продолжать это очень важное дело, которое мы, как вид, всегда делали. And that is, instinctively we’ve gone out and climbed over difficult places, went to more hostile places, and found out later, maybe to our surprise, that that’s the reason we survived. |||غریزی||||||||||||خصمانه||||بیرون رفتیم||||||||||| Das heißt, wir sind instinktiv losgezogen und haben schwierige Stellen überklettert, sind an feindlichere Orte gegangen und haben später, vielleicht zu unserer Überraschung, herausgefunden, dass das der Grund für unser Überleben war. То есть инстинктивно мы выходили и лазили по трудным местам, шли к более враждебным местам, а потом, может быть, к своему удивлению, обнаруживали, что благодаря этому мы выжили. And I feel very strongly that it’s not good enough for us to have generations of kids that think that it’s OK to look forward to a better version of a cell phone with a video in it. They need to look forward to exploration, they need to look forward to colonization, they need to look forward to breakthroughs. |||||||||||||Kolonisierung||||||| They need to. We need to inspire them, because they need to lead us and help us survive in the future.

I’m particularly troubled that what NASA’s doing right now with this new Bush doctrine to -- for this next decade and a half -- oh shoot, I screwed up. |||||NASA||||||||||||||||||||vermasselt| |||||||||||||||||||||||||metí la pata| Besonders beunruhigt mich, dass das, was die NASA jetzt mit dieser neuen Bush-Doktrin für die nächsten anderthalb Jahrzehnte tut - oh Mist, ich habe es vermasselt. We have real specific instructions here not to talk about politics. Wir haben hier ganz konkrete Anweisungen, nicht über Politik zu sprechen.

(Laughter)

What we’re looking forward to is --

(Applause)

what we’re looking forward to is not only the inspiration of our children, but the current plan right now is not really even allowing the most creative people in this country -- the Boeing’s and Lockheed’s space engineers to go out and take risks and try new stuff. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Lockheed|||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Lockheed|||||||||||| We’re going to go back to the moon -- 50 years later -- and we’re going to do it very specifically planned to not learn anything new. Wir werden zum Mond zurückkehren - 50 Jahre später - und wir werden es sehr gezielt tun, um nichts Neues zu lernen. I’m really troubled by that. But anyway that’s -- the basis of the thing that I want to share with you today, though, is that right back to where we inspire people who will be our great leaders later. ||||||||||||||||||||||||inspirieren|||||||| Aber wie dem auch sei, die Grundlage der Sache, die ich heute mit Ihnen teilen möchte, ist, dass wir Menschen inspirieren, die später unsere großen Führer sein werden. That’s the theme of my next 15 minutes here. And I think that the inspiration begins when you’re very young: three-year-olds, up to 12, 14-year-olds. What we -- what they look at is the most important thing.

Let’s take a snapshot at aviation. |||||Luftfahrt |||||aviation And there was a wonderful little short four-year time period when marvelous things happened. It started in 1908, when the Wright brothers flew in Paris, and everybody said, "Ooh, hey I can do that." |||||||||||||Oh||||| There’s only a few people that have flown in early 1908. ||||people||||| In four years, 39 countries had hundreds of airplanes, thousand of pilots. ||||||||||Piloten Airplanes were invented by natural selection. Flugzeuge wurden durch natürliche Auslese erfunden. Now you can say that intelligent design designs our airplanes of today, but there was no intelligent design really designing those early airplanes. Nun kann man sagen, dass intelligentes Design unsere heutigen Flugzeuge entwirft, aber es gab kein intelligentes Design, das diese frühen Flugzeuge wirklich entworfen hat. There were probably at least 30,000 different things tried, and when they crash and kill the pilot, don’t try that again. Es wurden wahrscheinlich mindestens 30.000 verschiedene Dinge ausprobiert, und wenn sie abstürzen und den Piloten töten, sollte man das nicht noch einmal versuchen. The ones that flew and landed OK because there was no trained pilots who had good flying qualities by definition. So we, by making a whole bunch of attempts, thousands of attempts, in that four-year time period, we invented the concepts of the airplanes that we fly today. ||||||eine Menge||Versuche|||||||||||erfunden||||||||| Wir haben also in diesem Zeitraum von vier Jahren durch eine ganze Reihe von Versuchen, tausende von Versuchen, die Konzepte der Flugzeuge erfunden, die wir heute fliegen. And that’s why they’re so safe, as we gave it a lot of chance to find what’s good. That has not happened at all in space flying. Das ist in der Raumfahrt überhaupt nicht der Fall. There’s only been two concepts tried -- two by the U.S. and one by the Russians. ||||den Russen

Well, who was inspired during that time period? Aviation Week asked me to make a list of who I thought were the movers and shakers of the first 100 years of aviation. ||||||||||||||||Einflussreiche Personen|||||| ||||||||||||||movers||influencers|||||| Aviation Week hat mich gebeten, eine Liste zu erstellen, wer meiner Meinung nach die ersten 100 Jahre der Luftfahrt geprägt hat. And I wrote them down and I found out later that every one of them was a little kid in that wonderful renaissance of aviation. ||||||||||||||||||||||Renaissance|| Ich schrieb sie auf, und später fand ich heraus, dass jeder von ihnen ein kleines Kind in dieser wunderbaren Renaissance der Luftfahrt war. Well, what happened when I was a little kid was -- some pretty heavy stuff too. Nun, als ich ein kleines Kind war, geschahen auch ziemlich heftige Dinge. The jet age started, the missile age started. Von Braun was on there showing how to go to Mars -- and this was before Sputnik. |Braun||||||||||||||Sputnik |Braun||||||||||||||Sputnik(1) And this was at a time when Mars was a hell of a lot more interesting than it is now. We thought there’d be animals there, we knew there were plants there, the colors change, right? Wir dachten, dass es dort Tiere geben würde, wir wussten, dass es dort Pflanzen gibt, die Farben ändern sich, richtig? But, you know, NASA screwed that up because they’ve sent these robots and they’ve landed it only in the deserts. |||||||||||||||||||Wüsten ||||arruinó||||||||||||||| Aber die NASA hat es vermasselt, weil sie diese Roboter losgeschickt hat und sie nur in den Wüsten gelandet sind.

(Laughter)

If you look at what happened -- this little black line is as fast as man ever flew, and the red line is a top of the line military fighters and the blue line is commercial air transport. Wenn man sich ansieht, was passiert ist - diese kleine schwarze Linie ist so schnell, wie der Mensch jemals geflogen ist, und die rote Linie ist ein militärisches Spitzenflugzeug und die blaue Linie ist der kommerzielle Luftverkehr. You notice here’s a big jump. Sie sehen, dass es einen großen Sprung gibt. When I was a little kid -- and I think that had something to do with giving me the courage to go out and try something that other people weren’t having the courage to try. Als ich ein kleines Kind war - und ich glaube, das hatte etwas damit zu tun, dass ich den Mut hatte, hinauszugehen und etwas auszuprobieren, was andere Leute sich nicht trauten. Well, what did I do when I was a kid? I didn’t do the hotrods and the girls and the dancing. ||||Hotrods|||||| ||||hotrods|||||| Ich habe die Hotrods und die Mädchen und das Tanzen nicht gemacht. Ik heb de hotrods en de meisjes en het dansen niet gedaan. And, well, we didn’t have drugs in those days. Und, na ja, damals gab es noch keine Drogen. But I did competition model airplanes. |||||Modellflugzeuge Aber ich habe an Wettbewerben für Modellflugzeuge teilgenommen. I spent about seven years during the Vietnam War flight-testing airplanes for the Air Force. Während des Vietnamkriegs verbrachte ich etwa sieben Jahre damit, Flugzeuge für die Air Force zu testen. And then I went in and I had a lot of fun building airplanes that people could build in their garages. ||||||||||||||||||||Garagen And some 3,000 of these are flying. Of course, one of them is around the world Voyager. |||||||||Voyager um die Welt Eine davon ist natürlich die Weltumsegelung Voyager. I founded another company in '82, which is my company now. |gründete|||||||| And we have developed more than one new type of airplane every year since 1982. And there’s a lot of them that I actually can’t show you on this chart. ||||||||||||||Diagramm Und es gibt eine Menge davon, die ich Ihnen in dieser Tabelle gar nicht zeigen kann.

The most impressive airplane ever, I believe, was designed only a dozen years after the first operational jet. Das beeindruckendste Flugzeug aller Zeiten wurde meines Erachtens nur ein Dutzend Jahre nach dem ersten einsatzfähigen Jet entwickelt. Stayed in service till it was too rusty to fly, taken out of service. We retreated in '98 back to something that was developed in '56. |zogen uns zurück|||||||| What? The most impressive spaceship ever, I believe, was a Grumman Lunar Lander. ||||||||||Lunar|Lander |||||||||Grumman||Lander Het meest indrukwekkende ruimteschip ooit, geloof ik, was een Grumman Lunar Lander. It was a -- you know, it landed on the moon, take off of the moon, didn’t need any maintenance guys -- that’s kind of cool. We’ve lost that capability. |||Fähigkeit We abandoned it in '72. |ließen|| This thing was designed three years after Gagarin first flew in space in 1961. |||||||Gagarin||||| Three years, and we can’t do that now.

Crazy. Talk very briefly about innovation cycles, things that grow, have a lot of activity, they die out when they’re replaced by something else. Sprechen Sie kurz über Innovationszyklen, über Dinge, die wachsen, viel Aktivität haben und aussterben, wenn sie durch etwas anderes ersetzt werden. These things tend to happen every 25 years. 40 years long, with an overlap. ||||Überlappung ||||overlap You can put that statement on all kinds of different technologies. The interesting thing -- by the way, the speed here, excuse me, higher-speed travel is the title of these innovation cycles. There is none here. Hier gibt es keine. These two new airplanes are the same speed as the DC8 that was done in 1958. ||||||||||DC|||| Here’s the biggie, and that is, you don’t have innovation cycles if the government develops and the government uses it. ||Wichtigste Sache||||||||||||||||| Hier is de biggie, en dat wil zeggen, je hebt geen innovatiecycli als de overheid zich ontwikkelt en de overheid deze gebruikt. You know, a good example, of course, is the DARPA net. |||||||||DARPA-Netz| |||||||||DARPA| Computers were used for artillery first, then IRS. ||||Artillerie||| |||||||IRS But when we got it, now you have all the level of activity, all the benefit from it. Private sector has to do it. Keep that in mind. I put down innovation -- I’ve looked for innovation cycles in space, and I found none.

The very first year, starting when Gagarin went in space, and a few weeks later Alan Shepherd, there were five manned space flights in the world; the very first year. |||||||||||||||Alan Shepard|Shepherd||||||Flüge||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||tripulados||||||||| In 2003, everyone that the United States sent to space was killed. There were only three or four flights in 2003. In 2004, there were only two flights: two Russian Soyuz flights to the international manned station. ||||||||Sojus|||||| ||||||||Soyuz|||||| And I had to fly three in Mojave with my little group of a couple dozen people in order to get to a total of five, which was the number the same year back in 1961. |||||||Mojave||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||Mojave||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Und ich musste mit meiner kleinen Gruppe von ein paar Dutzend Leuten drei in Mojave fliegen, um auf die Gesamtzahl von fünf zu kommen, die im selben Jahr, 1961, erreicht wurde. There is no growth. There’s no activity. There’s no nothing.

This is a picture here taken from SpaceShipOne. |||||||SpaceShipOne Dies ist ein Bild, das vom SpaceShipOne aus aufgenommen wurde. This is a picture here taken from orbit. Dies ist ein Bild, das aus dem Orbit aufgenommen wurde. Our goal is to make it so that you can see this picture and really enjoy that. Unser Ziel ist es, dass Sie dieses Bild sehen und es wirklich genießen können. We know how to do it for sub-orbital flying now, do it safe enough -- at least as safe as the early airlines -- so that can be done. ||||||||orbital||||||||||||||Fluggesellschaften||||| Wir wissen jetzt, wie man suborbital fliegt, und wir können es sicher genug machen - zumindest so sicher wie die ersten Fluggesellschaften -, so dass es möglich ist. And I think I want to talk a little bit about why we had the courage to go out and try that as a small company. Und ich möchte ein wenig darüber sprechen, warum wir den Mut hatten, dies als kleines Unternehmen zu versuchen.

Well, first of all, what’s going to happen next? The first industry will be a high volume, a lot of players. There’s another one announced just last week. And it will be sub-orbital. Und er wird suborbital sein. And the reason it has to be sub-orbital is, there is not solutions for adequate safety to fly the public to orbit. Und der Grund dafür, dass es suborbital sein muss, ist, dass es keine Lösungen für ausreichende Sicherheit gibt, um die Öffentlichkeit in den Orbit zu fliegen. The governments have been doing this -- three governments have been doing this for 45 years, and still four percent of the people that have left the atmosphere have died. Die Regierungen haben das getan - drei Regierungen haben das 45 Jahre lang getan, und trotzdem sind vier Prozent der Menschen, die die Atmosphäre verlassen haben, gestorben. That’s -- You don’t want to run a business with that kind of a safety record. It’ll be very high volume; we think 100,000 people will fly by 2020. I can’t tell you when this will start, because I don’t want my competition to know my schedule. |||||||||||||competition|||| Ich kann Ihnen nicht sagen, wann es losgehen wird, weil ich nicht möchte, dass meine Konkurrenz meinen Zeitplan kennt. But I think once it does, we will find solutions. And very quickly, you’ll see those resort hotels in orbit. |||||||Resorthotels|| And that real easy thing to do, which is a swing around the moon so you have this cool view. And that will be really cool. Because the moon doesn’t have an atmosphere -- you can do an elliptical orbit and miss it by 10 feet if you want. |||||||||||elliptische||||||||| |||||||||||elliptical||||||||| |||||||||||elíptica||||||||| Weil der Mond keine Atmosphäre hat - man kann ihn auf einer elliptischen Bahn umkreisen und ihn um 10 Fuß verfehlen, wenn man will. Oh, it’s going to be so much fun. Oh, das wird ein Riesenspaß werden.

(Laughter)

OK.

My critics say, "Hey, Rutan’s just spending a lot of these billionaires' money for joyrides for billionaires. ||||Rutan||||||||||Freizeitfahrten|| ||||Rutan||||||||||paseos|| Meine Kritiker sagen: "Hey, Rutan gibt doch nur einen Haufen Geld dieser Milliardäre für Spritztouren für Milliardäre aus. Mijn critici zeggen: "Hé, Rutan geeft gewoon veel van het geld van deze miljardairs uit aan joyrides voor miljardairs. What’s this? This is not a transportation system, it’s just for fun." And I used to be bothered by that, and then I got to thinking, well, wait a minute. I bought my first Apple computer in 1978 and I bought it because I could say, "I got a computer at my house and you don’t. 'What do you use it for?' Come over. It does Frogger." ||Frogger spielen ||Frogger Das tut Frogger." Het doet Frogger. " OK.

(Laughter)

Not the banks' computer or Lockheed’s computer, but the home computer was for games. For a whole decade it was for fun -- we didn’t even know what it was for. But what happened, the fact that we had this big industry, big development, big improvement and capability and so on, and they get out there in enough homes, we were ripe for a new invention. Aber was passierte, die Tatsache, dass wir diese große Industrie, große Entwicklung, große Verbesserung und Fähigkeit und so weiter hatten, und sie in genügend Haushalte gelangen, wir waren reif für eine neue Erfindung. And the inventor is in this audience. Al Gore invented the Internet and because of that, what -- something that we used for a whole year -- excuse me, a whole decade for fun, became everything -- our commerce, our research, our communication and, if we let the Google guys think for another couple weekends, we can add a dozen more things to the list. ||erfunden||||||||||||||||||||||||||unserer Handel||||||||||||||||Wochenenden|||||||||| Al Gore hat das Internet erfunden, und dadurch wurde etwas, das wir ein ganzes Jahr lang - Entschuldigung, ein ganzes Jahrzehnt lang zum Spaß benutzt haben, zu allem - zu unserem Handel, unserer Forschung, unserer Kommunikation, und wenn wir die Google-Jungs noch ein paar Wochenenden nachdenken lassen, können wir der Liste noch ein Dutzend weiterer Dinge hinzufügen. And it won’t be very long before you won’t be able to convince kids that we didn’t always have computers in our homes. So fun is defendable. |||verteidbar |||defendible

OK, I want to show you kind of a busy chart, but in it is my prediction with what’s going to happen. OK, ich möchte Ihnen ein ziemlich unruhiges Diagramm zeigen, aber darin ist meine Vorhersage dessen, was passieren wird. And in it also brings up another point, right here. There’s a group of people that have come forward -- and you don’t know all of them -- but the ones that have come forward were inspired as young children, this little three- to 15-year-old age, by us going to orbit and going to the moon here, right in this time period. Paul Allen, Elan Musk, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos, the Ansari family, which is now funding the Russians' sub-orbital thing, Bob Bigelow, a private space station, and Carmack. ||Elan|Musk||Branson||Bezos||Ansari-Familie|||||Finanzierung|||Suborbital|orbital|||Bigelow||||||Carmack ||Elan|||||||Ansari||||||||||||Bigelow||||||Carmack These people are taking money and putting it in an interesting area, and I think it’s a lot better than they put it in an area of a better cell phone or something -- but they’re putting it in very [unclear] areas and this will lead us into this kind of capability, and it will lead us into the next really big thing and it will allow us to explore. And I think eventually it will allow us to colonize and to keep us from going extinct. |||||||||kolonisieren|||||||

They were inspired by big progress. ||inspiriert||| But look at the progress that’s going on after that. There were a couple of examples here. The military fighters had a -- highest-performance military airplane was the SR71. |||||||||||SR |||||||||||SR(1) It went a whole life-cycle, got too rusty to fly, and was taken out of service. The Concorde doubled the speed for airline travel. It went a whole life-cycle without competition; took out of service. And we’re stuck back here with the same kind of capability for military fighters and commercial airline travel that we had back in the late '50s. ||festgefahren||||||||||||||Fluggesellschaft||||||||| But something is out there to inspire our kids now. ||||||inspirieren||| And I’m talking about if you’ve got a baby now, or if you’ve got a 10-year-old now. What’s out there is there’s something really interesting going to happen here. Relatively soon, you’ll be able to buy a ticket and fly higher and faster than the highest-performance military operational airplane. It’s never happened before. |nie|| The fact that they have stuck here with this kind of performance has been, well, you know, you win the war in 12 minutes, why do you need something better? Die|||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Die Tatsache, dass sie mit dieser Art von Leistung hier geblieben sind, war, na ja, Sie wissen schon, Sie gewinnen den Krieg in 12 Minuten, warum brauchen Sie etwas Besseres? But I think when you guys start buying tickets and flying sub-orbital flights to space, very soon -- wait a minute, what’s happening here, we’ll have military fighters with sub-orbital capability, and I think very soon this. ||||||||||||||||||wait||||||||||||||||||| But the interesting thing about it is the commercial guys are going to go first. OK, I look forward to a new capitalist space race, let’s call it. |||||||kapitalistischen|||||

You remember the space race in the '60s was for national prestige, because we lost the first two milestones. |||||||||||Prestige|||||||Meilensteine ||||||||||||||||||milestones We didn’t lose them technically. The fact that we had the hardware to put something in orbit when we let Von Braun fly it, you can argue that’s not a technical loss. Sputnik wasn’t a technical loss, but it was a prestige loss. America -- the world saw America as not being the leader in technology, and that was a very strong thing. And then we flew Alan Shepherd weeks after Gagarin, not months or decades, or whatever. So we had the capability. But America lost. We lost. And because of that, we made a big jump to recover it. Und deshalb haben wir einen großen Sprung gemacht, um es zurückzugewinnen.

Well, again, what’s interesting here is we’ve lost to the Russians on the first couple of milestones already. Interessant ist auch hier, dass wir bereits bei den ersten beiden Meilensteinen gegen die Russen verloren haben. You cannot buy a ticket commercially to fly into space in America -- can’t do it. You can buy it in Russia. You can fly with Russian hardware. This is available because a Russian space program is starving, and it’s nice for them to get 20 million here and there to take one of the seats. It’s commercial. It can be defined as space tourism. ||||||Raumfahrt-Tour They are also offering a trip to go on this whip around the moon, like Apollo Eight was done. ||||||||||Raumschiff|||||||| Sie bieten auch eine Reise an, um den Mond zu umrunden, wie es bei Apollo Eight gemacht wurde. 100 million bucks -- hey, I can go to the moon. |Dollar||||||| But, you know, would you have thought back in the '60s, when the space race was going on, that the first commercial capitalist-like thing to do to buy a ticket to go to the moon would be in Russian hardware? And would you have thought, would the Russians have thought, that when they first go to the moon in their developed hardware, the guys inside won’t be Russians? Maybe it’ll probably be a Japanese or an American billionaire? |||||||||Milliardär Vielleicht wird es ein japanischer oder ein amerikanischer Milliardär sein? Well, that’s weird, you know, it really is. But anyway, I think we need to beat them again. Aber wie auch immer, ich denke, wir müssen sie wieder schlagen.

I think what we’ll do is we’ll see a successful, very successful, private space flight industry. Whether we’re first or not really doesn’t matter. The Russians actually flew a supersonic transport before the Concorde. And then they flew a few cargo flights, and took it out of service. Dann flogen sie ein paar Frachtflüge und nahmen sie aus dem Verkehr. I think you kind of see the same kind of parallel when the commercial stuff is offered.

OK, we’ll talk just a little bit about commercial development for human space flight. This little thing says there’re five times what NASA’s doing by 2020. I want to tell you, already there’s about a billion and a half to a billion point seven investment in private space flight that is not government at all; already, worldwide. If you read -- if you Google it, you’ll find about half of that money, but there’s twice of that being committed out there -- not spent yet, but being committed and planned for the next few years. Wenn man liest - wenn man es googelt, findet man etwa die Hälfte dieses Geldes, aber das Doppelte davon ist bereits gebunden - noch nicht ausgegeben, aber gebunden und geplant für die nächsten Jahre. Hey, that’s pretty big. I’m predicting, though, as profitable as this industry is going to be -- and it certainly is profitable when you fly people at 200,000 dollars on something that you can actually operate at a 10th of that cost, or less -- this is going to be very profitable. I predict, also, that the investment that will flow into this will be somewhere around half of what the U.S. taxpayer spends for NASA’s manned spacecraft work. |gibt aus||||| ||||tripulada|| And every dollar that flows into that will be spent more efficiently by factor of 10 to 15. And what that means is before we know it, the progress in human space flight, with no taxpayer dollars, will be at a level of about five times as much as the current NASA budgets for human space flight. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Haushalte|||| |||||||||||||||||public funds||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||orçamentos|||| And that is because it’s us. It’s private industry. You should never depend on the government to do this sort of stuff -- and we’ve done it for a long time. The NACA, before NASA, never developed an airliner and never ran an airline. |NACA||||||Passagierflugzeug||||| |NACA||||||||||| |NACA||||||aeronave comercial||||| But NASA is developing the space liner, always has, and runs the only space line, OK. ||||||transporte||||||||| ||||||nave espacial||||||||| And we’ve shied away from it because we’re afraid of it. ||avoided it|||||||| ||hemos evitado|||||||| ||nos afastamos|||||||| Und wir sind davor zurückgeschreckt, weil wir Angst davor haben. But starting back in June of 2004, when I showed that a little group out there actually can do it, can get a start with it, everything changed after that time.

OK, thank you very much. bien||||
