前几天，神舟十四号载人飞船成功发射，取得圆满成功！浩瀚太空再添了一抹中国红~

说到太空之旅，商城君不禁脑洞大开，如果想在太空定居，那一定得有好吃的——最爱的那些汉堡、炸鸡、肉串在太空还能吃到吗？其实不光商城君在考虑这个问题，听说还有人付诸实践了？好奇的你看看下面的文章吧！

Growing beef in orbit

在这儿也有牛肉？

Researchers at Israeli food-tech company Aleph Farms have been growing artificial (人造的) meat in space. A team from the company was sent to the International Space Station to 3D print meat. Now they want to see if meat cells can grow naturally in space. The company is conducting new tests to see how the cells (细胞) respond to zero gravity.

一家以色列食品技术公司的研究人员一直尝试在太空中培育人造肉，该公司团队还曾在国际空间站，用3D生物打印机成功培育了太空人造肉。研究人员还在实验这些细胞在宇宙中是否可以自然生长。

“Physiology (生理学) and biology behave very differently in a microgravity (微重力) environment,” said Zvika Tamari, the head of Aleph Farms’ space program. “So, we actually don’t know, nobody knows, if these processes of cultivation of meat proliferation (增殖) can actually occur in space.”

该公司太空项目负责人 Zvika Tamari 说：“微重力环境下，究竟能否在太空成功培育肉类尚未可知。”
