看来你还是很爱国的嘛！可你想啊，光靠传统行业，中国只能给外国打工。相反，我们航天技术发展了，可以帮别国发射卫星，甚至还能把别国的宇航员送上太空，那时候挣多少可就是我们说了算！

It seems like you're really patriotic, huh! But think about it: relying only on traditional industries, China can only work for foreign countries.

Then, when it comes to how much we'll be able to earn, the sky's the limit.
