供参考（FWIW），我相当肯定这个名字是在致敬 Robert Heinlein 的一部老小说：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podkayne_of_Mars 我当年看的时候挺喜欢的，而且我感觉 Lowe 年龄应该跟我差不多大...
FWIW I am fairly sure the name is a reference to an old Robert Heinlein novel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podkayne_of_Mars I quite enjoyed it at the time, and I think Lowe is about as old as me...
…当这一点被抛到一边时，对我来说整部书就崩了。Heinlein 几乎每本书的收尾都有点毛病。虽然也有几本能从头到尾保持水准，比如《The Moon is a Harsh Mistress》或《Podkayne of Mars》，但大多数结尾都挺烂尾的（land with a thud）。我经常因为他的脑洞和设定而喜欢他的书，但确实，文笔并不算顶尖。
…falls apart for me when that is kind of set aside. Heinlein almost always has problems with the endings of his books. There's some that stay consistent throughout, like The Moon is a Harsh Mistress or Podkayne of Mars, but most kind of land with a thud. I love his books quite often for the ideas and settings, but yes, the writing isn't the best.
…最后两次任务被取消了，该项目拖延得太厉害，已经进入了危险期，而尼克松可不想让 Apollo 的宇航员送命。关于这方面的科幻描写，可以去读读 Heinlein 的《Podkayne of Mars》，里面在星际航行期间，所有乘客和船员都必须挤进飞船专门为应对此类事件准备的狭小屏蔽舱里呆一阵子。
…last two missions were canceled, the program had sufficient delays that it was getting into the danger zone, and Nixon wasn't about to kill an Apollo crew. For some SF coverage of this, read Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars where during an interplanetary voyage all the passengers and crew had to huddle for a while into the small shielded space the craft had for such an event.
Heinlein 的书《Podkayne of Mars》里描述了夫妻结婚后先把整个婴儿冷冻起来，等以后年纪大了、更有钱、也大概更有阅历时再解冻抚养。
Heinlein's book "Podkayne of Mars" describes couples marrying and freezing entire babies to be thawed out later when they are older, wealthier, and presumably wiser.
…因为次级粒子比初级粒子更致命。在范艾伦辐射带（van Allen belts）之外遭遇太阳事件时，最好的办法就是躲在一块厚实的大屏蔽层后面；Heinlein 在《Podkayne of Mars》里就写过这个。
…because secondary particles are worse than primary. The best thing to do when caught in a solar event beyond the van Allen belts is to hunker down behind a big thick shield; Heinlein covered this in Podkayne of Mars.
