你能相信你此刻或者即将要吃的麦辣鸡肉汉堡的同类曾经上过天吗？不，这并不是一个笑话，美国时间6月29号九点某一个时刻，麦辣鸡肉汉堡中的优质代表发射到距离地面23470米了！

看到这一举动，是不是莫名的感到了一股停不下来的滑稽之风？虽然对我们而言只是一个笑话，但对于World View来说，此举事关重大，是对其公司的Stratollite系统的首次飞行测试，快来看看外媒是如何报道的！

辣鸡肉汉堡已经降落！麦辣鸡肉汉堡已经降落！

A mission in which KFC, along with private spaceflight company World View, launched a spicy chicken sandwich into the stratosphere lasted only 17 hours—far short of its four-day goal. 

肯德基与私人航天公司World View将麦辣鸡肉汉堡发射到平流层的任务只持续了17个小时，远低于其预期四天的目标。

World View landed its "Stratollite" early because of a small leak in its altitude control balloon system.The mission was in part to test the vehicle's altitude control and steering capabilities. 

这次任务主要是为了测试运载器的高度控制能力和转向能力。

According to a statement released by Jane Poynter, CEO of World View, all of the mission's test objectives were met.

根据World View首席执行Jane Poynter发表的声明中我们可以了解到这次测试的目标基本上都达到了。

And the special passenger, the KFC sandwich, enjoyed a short-lived ride to the edge of space and landed just in time for Independence Day.

特别的乘客-肯德基的汉堡，享受了短暂的空中飞行，并且享受了它的自由时光。

While the mission didn't last as long as World View hoped for, the company plans to "launch additional Stratollite test missions with increasing flight duration in the near future."

虽然这次的飞行任务所持续的时间并不像World View公司所期盼的那么长，但是公司还是在计划“在不久的将来，还是会另外发射测试飞行时间长短的Stratollite”

据其他外媒报道，造成这次飞行时间较短的主要原因是气球高度控制系统发生了轻微的泄露，希望在不久的将来可以把鸡翅小伙伴们送上太空啊！
