30多年前，人类从月球上回望地球，目睹了地球升起的壮观景象。将我们送入太空的技术已被用于评估我们对自然环境造成的损害，现在正被用于监测和预测时空疾病。卫星传感器数据有望发展疟疾等疾病的早期预警系统，疟疾每年造成100万至200万人死亡。
More than 30 years ago, human beings looked back from the Moon to see the magnificent spectacle of Earth-rise. The technology that put us into space has since been used to assess the damage we are doing to our natural environment and is now being harnessed to monitor and predict diseases through space and time. Satellite sensor data promise the development of early-warning systems for diseases such as malaria, which kills between 1 and 2 million people each year.
