SpaceX has launched the first "space factory" in history/SpaceX ha puesto en órbita la primera "fábrica espacial" de la historia

When talking about artificial satellites, one thinks of communications, GPS, Internet access or satellites that study the environment, for example, what never occurs to us, at least to me, is to think of a factory orbiting the Earth while manufacturing their products, but for a few days this factory is already a reality.
Cuando se habla de satélites artificiales uno piensa en comunicaciones, GPS, acceso a internet o en satélites que estudian el medio ambiente por ejemplo, lo nunca se nos ocurre, al menos a mí, es pensar en una fábrica orbitando alrededor de la Tierra mientras fabrica sus productos, pero desde hace unos días esta fábrica ya es una realidad.
On June 12, one of the Falcon 9 rockets owned by Space X, as you know founded by Elon Musk, has deployed 72 new artificial satellites from various companies and among all of them was the first space factory in history, owned by the California based startup Varda Space Industries.
El pasado 12 de junio uno de los cohetes Falcon 9 propiedad de Space X, como sabéis fundada por Elon Musk, ha desplegado 72 nuevos satélites artificiales de varias empresas y entre todos ellos estaba la primera fábrica espacial de la historia, propiedad de la startup Varda Space Industries con sede en California.

And you will ask yourselves, a factory of what? Well, there are some manufacturing processes such as microprocessors or some drugs that work much better in zero gravity, although this can already be done on the international space station (ISS), we must take into account that it cannot be used for commercial purposes.
Y os preguntaréis, ¿una fábrica de qué?, pues existen algunos procesos de fabricación como los microprocesadores o algunos fármacos que funcionan mucho mejor en gravedad cero, aunque esto ya puede realizarse en la estación espacial internacional (ISS), hay que tener en cuenta que esta no se puede utilizar para usos comerciales.
A few years ago, the pharmaceutical company Merk carried out experiments on the ISS for a cancer treatment that demonstrated the benefits of manufacturing it in a state of weightlessness but, as I have said, the ISS is not for commercial purposes and special flights only reach weightlessness during just over a minute, while the process carried out on the ISS took 18 minutes.
Hace unos años la empresa farmacéutica Merk realizó experimentos en la ISS para un tratamiento contra el cáncer que demostró los beneficios de fabricarlo en estado de ingravidez pero, como he comentado, la ISS no es para fines comerciales y los vuelos especiales solo alcanza la ingravidez durante poco más de un minuto, mientras que el proceso llevado a cabo en la ISS empleó 18 minutos.

In addition to this, the startup has a contract with the US Air Force to test the hardware of hypersonic missiles, which provides extra money to finance the manufacture of medicines for the next six or seven years, according to Varda Space Industries and improve the system to get back to Earth.
Además de esto la startup tiene un contrato con la Fuerza Aérea estadounidense para probar el hardware de los misiles hipersónicos, lo que aporta dinero extra para financiar la fabricación de medicamentos durante los próximos seis o siete años, según declara Varda Space Industries y mejorar el sistema de regreso a la Tierra.
Because not everything is reduced to manufacturing drugs in space, then they have to be brought to Earth to be able to administer them to patients who require it. In any case, there is no doubt that it is a good idea that can also be extended because there is plenty of space for everyone, never better said.
Porque no todo se reduce a fabricar los fármacos en el espacio, después hay que traerlos a la Tierra para poder administrarlos a los pacientes que lo requieran. De cualquier forma no cabe duda que es una buena idea que además puede extenderse porque hay espacio de sobra para todos, nunca mejor dicho.
