天外飞宝：荷兰公司拟送孕妇去太空生孩子想象一下没有重力的分娩：孕妇将无法通

想象一下没有重力的分娩：孕妇将无法通过散步来减轻分娩的痛苦，也无法利用重力向下推的优势，硬膜外麻醉似乎更难以想象。但是在不远的未来，人类就要大胆地迈出这一步了。

荷兰一家公司计划在2024年将一名孕妇送入太空去生宝宝，并且产妇和新生儿要冲破大气的重重阻力回到地球，还要通过降落伞在沙漠着陆。

Netherlands-based startup SpaceLife Origin wants to send a pregnant woman 250 miles above the Earth to give birth to the first extraterestrial baby in history, in the name of science.

荷兰初创企业SpaceLife Origin计划以科学的名义送孕妇去地球上空250英里（约合402公里）的太空生下历史上第一个“天外宝宝” 。

extraterestrial[??kstr?t??r?stri?l] adj. 地球外的

Should our planet ever become unable to sustain human life, our species’ only hope would be to leave and settle elsewhere, be it a haven floating through space or another planet. But in order for this exodus to be a success, we first have to learn how to reproduce in space, and the founders of SpaceLife Origin want to get the ball rolling by sending a pregnant woman into space and having her give birth in zero gravity conditions. It sounds like a crazy idea, especially since humanity is a long way from becoming a spacefaring species, but SpaceLife Origin believes that our long-term survival depends on it.
