新鲜事：马斯克的SpaceX又做奇怪的事情了，要把大麻送上太空

Last month, a SpaceX Dragon capsule docked with the International Space Station hauling nearly three tons of cargo.

上个月太空探索技术公司（Space X）的“龙”太空舱与国际空间站对接，运送了近三吨货物。

SpaceX's next ISS resupply mission is scheduled for March 2020, and while that trip might not include any super-buff "mighty mice", it'll be packing something equally unique: cannabis.

太空探索技术公司的下一次国际空间站补给任务定于2020年3月进行，虽然这次任务可能不会携带超级强壮的“大老鼠”，但它将携带同样独特的东西：大麻。

Two days later, agri-tech company Front Range Biosciences announced plans to send cannabis to the ISS.

两天后，农业科技公司Front Range Biosciences宣布了将大麻送往国际空间站的计划。

No, it's not space-shipping weed to get astronauts high. Instead, it'll send plant cultures of hemp, the legal cannabis strain with low levels of compound THC.

这并不是要往太空运送大麻来使宇航员兴奋，而是为了在太空中对大麻进行植株培养，以培养出四氢大麻酚含量较低的合法大麻品种。

大麻植株长这样

The cultures will remain in an ISS incubator for 30 days while BioServe Space Technologies (a Front Range project partner) monitors them remotely from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
