Ein Denkmal f\u00fcr diejenigen, die in der Gro\u00dfen Mars-Trag\u00f6die von 25 Jahren verstorben sind, wird nach der offiziellen Erkl\u00e4rung mit Senator Stephen Nguyen als Hauptredner enth\u00fcllt.\n\nDies ist eine Abschrift seiner Rede:\n\nMein Bruder Sean baute gerne. Als wir Kinder waren, war ich diejenige, die Sport trieb und zum Sch\u00fclerkongress rannte, er bastelte immer an Dingen. Es war nicht seltsam in unserem Haus, pl\u00f6tzlich nach Hause zu kommen, um die DistroBox zerlegt und auf dem Wohnzimmerboden angeordnet zu bekommen, oder Sean, der um die L\u00fcftungssch\u00e4chte kriecht, weil er ein Klicken h\u00f6rte. Es gab ein Mal, und ich konnte es nie beweisen, aber ich glaube, er kam zum Hund. Er war zehn, wohlgemerkt, zehn Jahre alt und schon so begabt. Vielleicht ist Begabung das falsche Wort, denn es war nicht nur sein Talent, es war seine Neugierde und die absolute Freude, die er empfand, etwas auseinander zu brechen und zu sehen, wie alle Teile wichtig waren. Im Laufe der Jahre haben wir uns irgendwie auseinander gelebt. Er war nur mein seltsamer, nerdiger kleiner Bruder, der immer wieder meine Sachen auseinander nahm. Wir gingen auf gegen\u00fcberliegenden Seiten der Welt zur Schule. Er studierte Ingenieurwesen und Physik, eine \u00dcberraschung f\u00fcr niemanden. Ich habe mein Ding gemacht.\n\nAls Erwachsene kamen wir von Zeit zu Zeit vorbei, aber ich w\u00fcrde nicht sagen, dass wir uns besonders nahe standen. Eher Bekannte als Br\u00fcder. Wir waren einfach zu unterschiedlich. Ich mochte die Phoenix Five, er dachte, sie w\u00e4ren abgeleitet. Ich dachte, das neue Citizenship-Programm sei ein wichtiger Weg, um die Menschen zu belohnen, die aktiv eine st\u00e4rkere Nation aufbauen wollen. Er dachte, es sei elit\u00e4r. Und so ging es weiter.\n\nVor vielen Jahren, als ich meinen ersten Kreissitz gewann, tauchte Sean bei der Siegesfeier auf. Ich denke, ein Berater muss ihn eingeladen haben. Um ehrlich zu sein, h\u00e4tte ich nie daran gedacht, es \u00fcberhaupt zu versuchen. Jemand aus meinem Stab sagte, sie sahen ihn in der Ecke, offensichtlich unbehaglich in der Menge. Er kam nicht einmal, um mit mir zu reden, schrieb einfach eine Nachricht und bat jemanden, sie mir zu geben. Hier ist, was da stand:\n\n\"Hey Stephen, du sahst aus, als h\u00e4ttest du eine Menge Leute zum Reden, also wollte ich nicht st\u00f6ren. Aber ich wollte nur sagen, du bist fantastisch, Mann. Ich wei\u00df, dass wir uns streiten und k\u00e4mpfen, aber es gibt mir Hoffnung, dass jemand, der wirklich an seine \u00dcberzeugungen glaubt, in die Regierung geht. Es ist wirklich aufregend und ich freue mich so f\u00fcr dich. Denke nur daran, egal welche H\u00e4sslichkeit dich umgibt, sei tapfer, sei du selbst, und es wird dir gut gehen.\"\n\nMein Bruder Sean. Sean, der Zerst\u00f6rer. Sean, der Wiederherstellende. Sean war einer der vielen Verlorenen in der Trag\u00f6die von 2125. Seitdem konnte ich nie wieder eines seiner ersch\u00fctternden Geschw\u00e4tz \u00fcber Politik oder eines seiner l\u00e4cherlich langweiligen Geschwafel \u00fcber Legierungen und Spannungspunkte h\u00f6ren. Es ist ein Trost, dass das Projekt, das das Leben meines Bruders gefordert hat, nun abgeschlossen ist. Dieses Denkmal, ein kleiner Trost im Vergleich zum Verlust dieser Menschen, wird zumindest ihre Namen am Leben erhalten, damit der Rest der Menschheit f\u00fcr immer sehen kann.\n\nWei\u00dft du was? Verzeih mir meine Stumpfheit, aber schei\u00df drauf. Ich m\u00f6chte nicht, dass die Leute sich dieses Denkmal ansehen und ruhig und introspektiv sind. Ich m\u00f6chte, dass die Namen, die in diesen Felsen gemei\u00dfelt sind, ein Feuer in ihnen entfachen, ein Feuer, das sich selbst herausfordert, die Menschheit herausfordert. Ich m\u00f6chte, dass die Namen auf diesem Felsen ein Schlachtruf f\u00fcr uns alle sind, um zu \u00fcbertreffen, in das Universum vorzudringen und unsere Bestimmung zu finden.\n\nAlso, um mit den Worten meines dummen kleinen Bruders zu sprechen, sei tapfer zu allen. Sei du selbst. Und es wird uns allen gut gehen.","zh_CN":"After almost forty years of trial and tragedy, Mars is officially classified as an oxygen-sustaining environment.
