宇宙咖啡因：太空人快要有espresso咖啡機瞭
Cosmic caffeine：Astronauts getting espresso maker
The astronauts in space will soon be sipping some good coffee. The International Space Station is getting a real Italian espresso machine.
太空中的太空人很快就能啜飲一些好咖啡瞭。國際太空站即將有一臺真正的義大利espresso咖啡機。
They’ll still have to use the pouches but at least the freshly brewed coffee will pack some zero-gravity punch.
他們還是得用袋子喝，但至少這種新鮮煮好的咖啡可以包進一些零重力的活力。
The specially-designed-for-space espresso machine is dubbed ISSpresso — ISS for International Space Station.
這種專為太空環境設計的espresso咖啡機名為 ISSpresso，也就是國際太空站裏的espresso。
Its launch early next year from Wallops Island， Virginia， is timed to coincide with the six-month mission of Italy’s first female astronaut， Samantha Cristoforetti.
這臺機器明年將從維吉尼亞州沃洛普斯島升空，正好與義大利首位女性太空人珊蔓莎．克裡斯托弗雷蒂展開6個月任務同一時間。
She’ll be the first out-of-this-world barista.
她將是第一位「隻應天上有」的咖啡師。
