In the early times, pigs were allowed to wander freely in search of food.

在早期，猪被允许自由游荡以寻找食物。

This practice also allowed many pigs to escape from farms and live in the wild, which became a problem.

On one particular United States island, wild pigs themselves became an attractive food source for a species of mainland eagle.

A pair of entrepreneurs are planning to build and launch a spacecraft that would carry and roast coffee beans in outer space.

The craft will use the heat of re-entry to roast coffee beans as they float inside it in a pressurised tank.

The effect would be to roast the beans all over and produce perfect coffee.

这样做的效果是使豆子均匀受热，从而生产出完美的咖啡。

The businessmen say that on Earth, beans can easily break apart and get burned in the roaster, but if gravity is removed, the beans float around in a heated oven, receive 360 degrees of evenly distributed heat and roast to near perfection.

这些商人表示，在地球上，豆子容易在烘焙机中破裂和烧焦，但如果重力消失，豆子就会在加热的烤箱中漂浮，接受360度的均匀分布热量，并近乎完美地烘焙。

The spacecraft will reach a height of around 200 kilometres.

该航天器将达到大约200公里的高度。

The beans would then be roasted in the heat generated by the craft's 20-minute re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

Temperatures in the pressurised tank will be kept to around 200 degrees Celsius.

Once back on Earth, the planet's first space-roasted beans would be used to make coffee that would be sold for the first time in Dubai.

This is where the pair's company is based.

Surprisingly, the space roaster concept, should it go ahead, will not be the first attempt to take coffee into space.
