Call for questions: SPACE FOOD
Added 2025-10-09 21:51:38 +0000 UTCAstronauts need to eat, and it turns out that making food that’s safe, nutritious, and tasty in space is not easy. Next week I'm interviewing a scientist who researches space food. How does taste and smell transform in weightlessness? What cooking equipment is used in zero gravity? What cultural considerations are taken when creating menus? Do astronauts really eat freeze-dried Neapolitan ice cream? Post your questions in the comments!
