CHE SIGNIFICA COUNTDOWN IN INGLESE

Conto alla rovescia

Countdown

Un conto alla rovescia è una sequenza di conteggio all'indietro per indicare l'ora rimanente prima che si verifichi un evento. La NASA utilizza comunemente il termine "T-minus" durante la preparazione e l'anticipazione di un lancio di razzi e persino di "E-minus" per eventi che coinvolgono navi spaziali già presenti nello spazio, dove il "T" potrebbe essere "Test" O "Time", e "E" significa "Encounter", come con una cometa o un altro oggetto spaziale. Altri eventi per i quali i conteggi sono comunemente usati includono la detonazione di un esplosivo, l'inizio di una corsa, l'inizio del nuovo anno o qualsiasi evento ansiosamente anticipato. Un uso precoce di un conto alla rovescia una volta ha segnalato l'inizio di una corsa di canottaggio di Cambridge University. La prima conosciuta associazione con i razzi fu nel 1929 il film di fantascienza tedesco Die Frau im Mond scritto da Thea von Harbou e diretto da Fritz Lang nel tentativo di aumentare il dramma della sequenza di lancio del razzo lunare legato alla storia.

A countdown is a sequence of backward counting to indicate the time remaining before an event is scheduled to occur. NASA commonly employs the term "T-minus" during the preparation for and anticipation of a rocket launch, and even "E-minus" for events that involve spacecraft that are already in space, where the "T" could stand for "Test" or "Time", and the "E" stands for "Encounter", as with a comet or some other space object. Other events for which countdowns are commonly used include the detonation of an explosive, the start of a race, the start of the New Year, or any anxiously anticipated event. An early use of a countdown once signaled the start of a Cambridge University rowing race. The first known association with rockets was in the 1929 German science fiction movie Die Frau im Mond written by Thea von Harbou and directed by Fritz Lang in an attempt to increase the drama of the launch sequence of the story's lunar-bound rocket.
