The first musical machines came from Iraq in the 9th century and were powered by water. Starting in the 16th century, European clockmakers figured out how to make other machines that could play music by themselves, even without water. These machines developed over the centuries to become smaller and more complex. The first music boxes went into production in 1811 in Sainte-Croix, Switzerland. These music boxes were so popular that making them made up 10 percent of Switzerland's economy at the time.
The production of music boxes was at their height in the late 1800s, when many kinds of mechanical toys were popular. Unfortunately, by World War I the music box industry had fallen apart. The war made music boxes an expensive luxury. Also, the invention of the phonograph made music boxes out-of-date.
第一個音樂機械來自於九世紀的伊拉克，以水為動力。歐洲鐘錶匠於十六世紀想出如何做出甚至無需利用水力也能自動播放音樂的機械。幾世紀的發展使這些機械已變得更小更精密。1811 年，第一個音樂盒在瑞士的聖科瓦鎮開始生產。這些音樂盒很受歡迎，所以生產音樂盒當時曾占了瑞士經濟的百分之十。
生產音樂盒的高峰是在十九世紀末葉，當時許多機械玩具正夯。不幸地，到了第一次世界大戰時，音樂盒工業已式微。戰爭使音樂盒成為一種昂貴的奢侈品。另外，留聲機的發明也使得音樂盒不再流行。

In November of 2011, NASA launched its newest rover named Curiosity to explore the surface of Mars. Recently, Curiosity 's instruments detected methane gas in the Martian atmosphere. The presence of methane is significant because it may indicate that some form of life exists on the red planet. While the rover's findings are not certain, it does open the possibility that Earth may not be the only planet with life on it. The discoveries that NASA is making today are important, but not nearly as impressive as what lies ahead.
The space agency has a few more projects that, if realized, will bring us a bit closer into the world of science fiction. First among these missions is a proposed plan to build solar-powered airships that would float high up in the atmosphere of Venus.
2011 年十一月，NASA 發射了名為「好奇者號」的最新探測車去探索火星表面。最近，「好奇者號」的儀器在火星的大氣層中探測到了甲烷氣。甲烷的存在是很重要的，因為這可能表示這顆紅色行星上有某種生命形態存在。雖然探測車的發現不是很明確，但這的確顯示了地球也許並非是唯一有生命存在之行星的可能性。NASA 目前的發現很重要，但是跟未來要進行的計畫相較之下就有點失色了。
太空總署還有一些計畫若能實現的話，將能帶領我們更接近科幻小說的世界。這些計畫當中的第一項是提議建造以太陽能為動力且能飄浮在金星大氣層高空的飛船的計畫。
