As we all know, space is a? Weightlessness? environment Almost all astronauts are floating, and so are their luggage and packages. Naturally, when eating, food is also suspended. When science and technology were underdeveloped in the early days, everyone was very cautious about eating and drinking water. At that time, astronauts had to be 100% energetic when eating, and the variety of food was limited. The water is ok, but the rice can only be pasty and has no taste at all. This is completely different from the current standard of living in space.
As far as astronauts' meals are concerned. Eight major cuisines are the foundation, and there are packages carefully matched by nutritionists. There are not only meals, but also snacks, and there are many desserts after meals. It can be said that there are quite a lot of kinds, and the living standard is directly well-off.
I don't know the specific consumption of other foods, but according to some data and astronauts' daily life records. Some astronauts can play with food. They will spit out the food and float over to eat it themselves. Anyway, the food is full of tricks. There is only one taboo, that is, you can't talk. Because talking will make food residues float, they will be inhaled into the lungs if they are not careful, causing harm and serious life-threatening.
The food we eat in space is different from the compressed biscuits we usually eat. Food that can be taken into space must be irradiated and treated for a long time. Otherwise, there is a risk of mildew in space.
Although space life is not as free and leisurely as our earth, it also has its own fun. And with the strength of the country, the living standards of astronauts in space are also improving day by day. This is a good sign, congratulations!
