>Ashes sent into space
SpaceX開啟'太空葬'服務(wù)

A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket launched the cremated remains of 152 people into orbit on Monday.
24日，美國太空探索技術(shù)公司(SpaceX)的一枚"獵鷹重型"火箭將152人的骨灰送入地球軌道。

The "space burial" is organized by a company called Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, which accepts small ash samples of deceased loved ones - weighing between one and seven grams - and packs them into small metal capsules.
此次"太空葬"由塞利斯蒂斯飛行紀念公司組織。該公司接收客戶提供的已故親人的少量骨灰(重量在1至7克之間)，并將其裝入小型金屬膠囊內(nèi)。

These individual capsules are then placed into a container that is fitted onto a satellite and sent into space where they will orbit our planet until their cosmic urns eventually re-enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up just like a shooting star.
這些單個的膠囊被裝進一個容器安裝在衛(wèi)星上，然后被送入太空。他們將繞地球飛行，直至衛(wèi)星最終重新進入地球的大氣層并像流星一樣燃盡。
