Ten second trivia.

To space news now, where more and more people will be traveling as commercial space missions only continue to advance, with many future missions planned for new frontiers like Mars, scientists are focusing their research on the effects of space on human biology, and especially on how it ages the human body.

现在说到太空新闻， 随着商业太空任务的不断推进， 越来越多的人将前往太空旅行，未来许多任务计划探索火星等新领域，科学家们正集中研究太空对人体生物学的影响，特别是它如何影响人体衰老。

CNN's Nick Valencia gives us a look at the self-contained experiments scientists are monitoring in space.

美国有线电视新闻网 (CNN) 的尼克·瓦伦西亚 (Nick Valencia) 向我们介绍了科学家在太空中监测的独立实验。

In the spirit of exploration, outer space may hold the answer to some of humanity's greatest questions.

本着探索精神，外太空或许蕴藏着人类一些重大问题的答案。

What causes aging and can the process be altered?

什么原因导致衰老？衰老过程可以改变吗？

Human tissue samples called organoids are now in orbit at the International Space Station, and identical samples are back on Earth at Oxford University's Space Innovation Lab.

被称为类器官的人体组织样本目前正在国际空间站的轨道上运行，相同的样本已运回地球，存放在牛津大学的空间创新实验室。

This experiment will allow researchers to compare and analyze data from both samples to study the aging process and the impact of microgravity on it.

此次实验将使研究人员能够比较和分析两个样本的数据，以研究衰老过程以及微重力对其的影响。

Inside the International Space Station, a box containing human tissue samples serves as a controlled environment.

在国际空间站内部，一个装有人体组织样本的盒子充当着受控环境。

The box have a small computer and all the detection material that we need to get the measurements we wanted, and we can actually control that and see all the data coming all the time.

盒子里有一台小型计算机和所有我们需要的检测材料， 以便获得我们想要的测量值，我们实际上可以控制它并随时查看所有的数据。

Researchers don't require assistance from the astronauts aboard the space station, as they can automatically gather the information from their laboratory on Earth.

研究人员不需要空间站宇航员的协助，因为他们可以自动从地球上的实验室收集信息。

You could be able to measure a few things without interacting with anyone.

您无需与任何人互动就能测量一些事物。

Over the years, astronauts have suffered from muscle loss, joint and bone issues, and problems with their immune system.

多年来，宇航员一直遭受肌肉萎缩、关节和骨骼问题以及免疫系统问题的困扰。

Researchers found that this is similar to an age-related disease.

研究人员发现，这与一种与年龄相关的疾病相似。

And this leads us to ask the question, if space might provide us with an accelerating aging model, and if it is the case, that means we can actually be able to study aging very fast, because this has happened in a very short time, while aging on Earth needed different years.

这就引出了一个问题，太空是否可以为我们提供一个加速衰老的模型，如果是这样的话， 那就意味着我们实际上可以非常快速地研究衰老，因为这发生在很短的时间内，而地球上的衰老需要不同的年份。

With future missions planned to send humans to Mars and beyond, the impact of space travel on aging will become a key issue.

随着未来人类计划前往火星及更远的地方，太空旅行对衰老的影响将成为一个关键问题。

Now to New Orleans, a city that truly knows the meaning of celebration, right?

现在来到新奥尔良，这座城市真正懂得庆祝的意义，对吧？

So it may come as a surprise to hear that the city council there just banned the release of confetti and mylar balloons and any balloon coated in conductive material.

因此，当您听说市议会刚刚禁止放飞五彩纸屑气球、聚酯薄膜气球以及任何涂有导电材料的气球时，您可能会感到惊讶。

It turns out those festive items have been creating quite the hassle for the city and its residents for years, when the metallic balloons are released and come into contact with power lines.

事实证明， 多年来，当金属气球被释放并接触到电线时， 这些节日物品一直给这座城市及其居民带来很大的麻烦。

It happened over the summer and caused a widespread power outage.

Safe water supply was disrupted for residents.

居民的安全供水中断。

Nearly the entire city was under a boil water advisory for days.

几乎整个城市都连续几天处于煮沸水警告之下。

In years past, mylar confetti cannons launched near power lines also caused power outages, so the city council's ordinance could be a welcome move for people in New Orleans.

过去几年， 在电线附近发射的聚酯薄膜五彩纸屑炮也曾造成停电，因此市议会的法令对新奥尔良人来说可能是一个值得欢迎的举措。
