It has long been history that astronauts eat "toothpaste" that only considers nutrition. Nowadays, astronauts’ space food is not only diverse, but also delicious and nutritious. The following ten foods are the top ten aerospace foods selected by the US Space Network. Don’t be surprised when you see M&Ms, Fruity, Pepsi and Coca-Cola. There is no junk food in the world, only bad eating habits.

1. Sugar-coated chocolate

Your mother may have always told you not to play with food, but with M&Ms and weightlessness, you’d be willing to invite astronauts to play Pac-Man role, have a good time. Many kinds of candies have been carried into space with astronauts, but sugar-coated chocolate, which is wrapped in a hard sugar shell and "only melts in the mouth but not in the hands," seems to be more suitable for space flight. In order to avoid the suspicion of advertising M&Ms chocolate, NASA deliberately calls M&Ms "sugar-coated chocolate". But Shannon Lucid, who set a record aboard the Mir space station in 1996, said: "I guess the only good thing now is having a few more M&Ms."

Freeze-dried ice cream is not cold and dry like chalk, but after it melts in your mouth, the strange aftertaste is indeed the same as ice cream. However, the space shuttle and space station did not prepare refrigeration equipment space for this delicious frozen delicacy. Almost all freeze-dried ice cream was sold to space fans on earth who wanted to try space life. I say "almost all" because according to NASA, they have transported freeze-dried ice cream on the space shuttle, but only once, to meet the special needs of a crew member.

3. Orange juice

Orange juice powder drink became famous during the Gemini program in the 1960s, and can still be seen on the space shuttle and the International Space Station. . Although it is not branded, Kraft, which makes the product, still supplies NASA with a variety of different flavors of the drink. These drinks range from the ever-popular orange juice to grape juice, as well as the more bizarre-tasting orange mango juice and yuzu orange juice.

4. Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola

In 1985, the Coke War reached a new level: NASA invited two companies, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, to send their respective Cokes into space for the ultimate battle. Taste test. Unfortunately, the crew declared the experiment a failure due to the zero-gravity environment and the lack of refrigeration on board. But the good news is that the floating "Pepsi ball" has become a source of entertainment for the astronauts. Later, Coca-Cola flew into space again, but this time they were packed in pressurized cups.

5. Green beans with black pepper

Like shrimp dipped in tomato sauce, green beans with black pepper will attract the attention of astronauts, all because of the word "spicy". However, these beans are not what everyone is used to eating, however, through Emeril’s unique cooking method, the situation is very different. Emeril is one of the famous chefs invited by NASA. The bureau asked him to introduce new delicacies to the astronauts on the space station. After special cooking methods, black pepper and green beans have found a place in astronauts' menus.

6. Sandwich Biscuits

Canasnacks are bite-sized sandwich biscuits filled with sugared maple juice, cranberry or blueberry cheese filling. These are similar to Oreo fillings. The nutritious dessert of the cookie was Canada's first astronaut's space flight food and features a maple leaf design. Although it is said that Dave Williams, an astronaut on the Canadian Space Agency's STS-118 mission, has a soft spot for it, the real demand comes from the general public. Relevant parties have received 10,000 applications to purchase this handmade biscuit. . Officials are looking to get the recipe approved, and maybe you'll be able to find the sandwich biscuits on store shelves near you in the not-too-distant future.

7. Space ramen soup

College students who are preparing to go to space will definitely like it! The instant noodles that were often eaten in school have been reprocessed and packaged and are now designated as special food for spaceflight. . After Japanese astronaut Sochi Noguchi ate instant noodles in space for the first time on the STS-114 mission in 2005, the ramen noodles launched by Nissin have been transformed into pasta form for easier consumption, and because there are no such noodles on the space shuttle, Boiling water, this soup can be boiled in 70-degree water, but it still comes with four packets of seasonings: soybeans, Japanese bean paste, curry powder and pork broth.

8. "Antimatter" energy drink

The advertisement for the "Red Bull" drink claims that it can "give you wings", but "Antimatter" is the only one that dares to claim that its ingredients have arrived for the first time. An energy drink that will travel through space. Antimatter, a special blend of vitamins and minerals produced by Microgravity Enterprises, was launched into space on UP Aerospace's SpaceLoft XL suborbital rocket in 2006 and 2007.

If energy drinks aren't your thing, the company also makes a beer and sports drink, both of which are created from additives that travel through space.

9. Tomatoes and basil seeds

Looking for a way to encourage students to love spaceflight research, NASA, the Canadian Space Agency and other international organizations have put together hundreds of Thousands of plant seeds are sent into space. The most popular ones are tomato and basil seeds. Once they returned to Earth, children rushed to plant these seeds that had traveled in space and compared their fruits with samples that had not traveled to space. Space tomatoes are said to have more flavor.

10. Cocktail shrimp

It may be a great appetizer on Earth, but for many astronauts, freeze-dried cocktail shrimp is a must-have food. Why? Some attribute it to weightlessness. Bodily fluids are not pulled from head to foot, and astronauts are unresponsive to the taste of many foods. But shrimp cocktail and other flavored foods are very delicious, which makes it easier to whet the appetite of astronauts.
