  Netherlands?based start?up SpaceLife Origin wants to send a pregnant woman 250 miles above the Earth to give birth to the first extraterrestrial(地球外的) baby in history, in the name of science.
  Should our planet ever become unable to sustain human life, our species only hope would be to leave and settle elsewhere. But in order to make it come true, we first have to learn how to reproduce in space, and the founders of SpaceLife Origin want to send a pregnant woman into space and have her give birth in zero gravity conditions.
  According to Egbert Edelbroek, one of the executives(管理人员) of the Dutch startup, learning how to give birth in space is an insurance policy for the human race. Even if we ever discover or build an inhabitable place away from Earth, we must first uncover the secrets of space birth if we stand any chance of survival.
  To do that, SpaceLife Origin plans to organize a series of pioneering experiments over the next five years, with the most important one—an actual human birth in space—scheduled for 2024. However, there are three primary but tough tasks for SpaceLife Origin. They need to find a volunteer, a commercial rocket and the money necessary to fund the whole thing.
  The mission is still bound to be a logistical(后勤的) disaster,but its the safety of the baby and the childbirth itself that experts are worried about. Astronauts usually experience three times the force of gravity during a rockets ascent(上升) to orbit, and no one knows how that will affect the fetus(胎儿) or the mother. The absence of gravity would lead to serious problems, like the lack of assistance when the mother pushes the baby out. Assuming that somehow everything goes right and the “trained, world?class medical team” accompanying the pregnant woman on her historical journey delivers the baby safely, theres still the descent back to Earth to consider. And once the baby is safely back on Earth, what kind of birth certificate do you issue someone who was born in space?
  SpaceLife Origin acknowledges that its plan still has many unknowns, but thats the main reason for this pioneering mission to find answers.

社会生产力是一个运动着的有机系统。它从源泉(自然力、人力和科学技术力)开始,到直接生产力的构成要素(劳动力、劳动资料和劳动对象),到这些要素结合的结果(必要产品和剩余产品);结果(剩余产品)又转化为生产力新的源泉,并通过积累转化为新的生产力,取得更多的结果。社会生产力就是这样在它自身的系统中循环不已、螺旋形上升地向前发展。社会生产力系统在运动中又衍生出两个规律:一是这个系统的横向比例(源泉、要素、结果各自的结构,以及由此派生的一系列经济比例)的规律,另一是这个系统的纵向转化(由源泉转化为直接生产力、由生
我曾在《学术月刊》1985年第1期上发表的《论公有制基础上的有计划的商品经济》那篇文章,主要讲了三点意思:(1)社会主义经济是公有制基础上有计划的商品经济这一科学论断,是对马克思主义的重大发展;(2)商品经济在我国充分发展的重大意义;(3)要从公有制经济、计划经济和商品经济这三个相互联系着的命题,来全面理解社会主义经济是公有制基础上的有计划的商品经济这一科学论断。在这篇文章里,我准备再谈三点意见,作为前一篇文章的第三部分的进一步展开。
