Tasting Astronaut Food: Inside NASA's Space Food Systems Laboratory

How does the dining experience in space compare to that on Earth? We visited NASA's Space Food Systems Laboratory at the Johnson Space Center in Houston to learn about the history of space food and sample some of the same food that the astronauts on the International Space Station eat every day.

It's the first question everyone asks when you tell them you visited the place where they made food for astronauts on ISS. When you're on the station for 6 months, and this is all you can eat, having the best tasting food possible is really important to the mental health of the crew.

Colin Hermin actually men can lactate when need be. Google it. Plus we all start out female per say. Look at your genitals. If you have a little bit of imagination, logic and reasoning you can see how each part mirrors something in the opposite sex. Like the head of the penis would be the clit for instance.

[@Coincidence_Theorist]

They also kept their minds on track with the use of the obviously named Astroglide and gerbils for experimentation as well. I believe Hatfield(sp?) was big on this theorectickle equation that put fourth the idea that gerbils could get astronauts off no matter what the jam aka “Gerbil Jamming ^MicroGrav”. Something that Hatfield tested daily on himself as well as the cosmonauts and whomever else (he called these assistants “Flies”) fell into something he described as “Mother Spider’s Web”. It was described by Chris Z. Hatfield as a way to “bring them out their cages. Even if they’re sleeping we’ll just wake um up”; they being the tender parts and minds of the next generation.

I don't think he was annoying, rather he was "reflecting"; it's a conversational technique in which one processes the information and repeats in back in an analogous form to indicate that the last message was understood. It's more in-depth than simply "copy that" or nothing at all. I also thought she did excellently although the pacing of their conversation wasn't perfectly smooth at times, something one might expect when two imperfect organisms communicate information. By the way, the OP catherine coronel grew a tremendously pretty hollywood face that I and lots of other people clicked on, wishing they could download her face to compliment and stare at in a mildly creepy way.

If you compare it to the US with the overall rank of 34 you would have to call the US a third world country too. Watch the documentary "Sicko" if you want it explained in an easy way why the US can't compete with the UK when it comes to life expectancy.

OK where to start :L You misspelled Americans. America, English and Americans begin with capital letters. I'm and don't have apostrophes. I should be capitalized, same with the I in I'm (it is I am after all, never mind the fact that a question mark ends a sentence and the first word in a sentence begins with a capital letter) and then you misspelled realize (I understand that is how it was taught to you but the language is English so much like the word 'color' if it is spelled different in England than you are spelling it wrong). I didn't say all Americans are stupid, fat or lazy, simply pointed out the fact that Americans can't speak proper English (intelligence has very little to do with literacy). Here are some examples; 1. On orbit isn't a thing, it's in orbit 2. LEGOS is not the plural of LEGO 3. Your guyses is not only wrong in every way but also unnecessary.

Most of the retort food is made at Texas A&M under a contract for NASA. They didn't have room for the retort machine at Johnson. They have different nutritional requirements for astronauts than soldiers do. It's mostly about fewer calories, but also sodium levels are dramatically lower. MREs I've tasted are all pretty salty, while this was definitely not salty. High sodium diets bring some gnarly health complications in microgravity, so it's worth spending money on.

The Russian food is canned because instead of changing the MREs from the military, they use the same meals in space. The usual Russian simple approach.

[@fly-high-me]

Do not be silly. They don't use millitary grade MRE on orbit missions, that food is totaly different. In addition as canned food they have food in plastic bags like NASA and food tubes, tubes like with toothpaste but filled with borsсht, different kinds of meat dishes. Furthermore if you ask absolutely any russian about space food he replies you something like "oh, yeah, it's a borscht in the tube". P.S. There is an mistake on the label, not "Тортия" right will be "Тортилья".

I'd guess that the sodium (and maybe the outgassing that prevents them from buying off-the-shelf. Too much sodium on orbit can contribute to bone loss, vision problems, etc. This stuff tasted much better than MREs I've had in the past. They also package most of the food in some pretty heavy-duty sauces, to make the food stick together better and make it easier to eat.

[@mikegallant811]

Yeah. The one dish that they had a little teensy problem with was chili during the Skylab missions whenever one of the crew members would open up a can of that spicy dish it would blow all over the joint it's bad news said one of the Skylab astronauts.

Loved this video. My question is, how do they obtain and ration their water?

[@christopherwhite6173]

Stop interrupting the person you're interviewing and let her talk. We're far more interested in what she has to say. Interrupting with shit like "like Sriracha or Texas Sunshine" just breaks the flow. We understand what hot sauce is.

[@JohnSmith-td7hd]

Perfect example :D

[@heysiri4935]

I NEED TO KNOW IF I CAN HAVE SRIRACHA IN SPACE

[@robsimp1436]

You don't understand how businesses work, do you? Cause I bet her boss was like, he's going to help lead you. Then some jackass like you comes along and comments this to make them both look bad.

[@shano0k]

sriracha, yes! tobasco, no!

[@keithgober8020]

im SO glad to see I wasn't the only person who noticed this!! after I put my comment up, I started reading all the rest of the comments and saw this one.

[@bumbledouche3323]

That the Russians still use metal cans for their food puzzles me. You'd think the extra weight from cans compared to plastic food packaging must significantly drive up their fuel costs...

[@aneesh2115]

Metal cans do not increase the weight that much . And they have to Fill their rockets somehow

[@fredrickcanales3545]

Aneesh Sahu what?

[@twisticanime5170]

@@fredrickcanales35456 month late but hes reffering to the unkept russian side of the iss which is loaded with trash and is overall unhygenic but its contained to ther side and doesnt impact weight etc that much so nothing gets done about it

[@ObsessedwithZelda2]

Dunno why the whole comment section is freaking out about him 'interrupting'. Found this enjoyable and informative.

[@masterandservant8021]

Today I used this video to help my Child in his homework, for a school program that NASA is offering here in Mexico's public elementary schools.

[@Actanonverba01]

That was a great show. I haven't seen much of the food stuffs since the "tube and cube" days. It was great to see how it has progressed. Thanks

[@mikegallant811]

It sure has! 😋😋😋😋😋

[@seanwilkinson3975]

I watched the whole video and found it interesting that, as spacecraft, missions, and partners with NASA changed and evolved, they felt it necessary sometimes to go back to older food delivery systems, not always forward to new ones. I was really surprised that Russia still uses canned foods, but if it works... I'm also glad that the food-in-a-tube was only briefly lived - my books made it seem that it was standard fare throughout Apollo missions. Those commenting on the tear tabs on NASA's stabilized food packs...I assumed they had the same packager as companies who make military, survival, and outdoorsman MRE foods. Anybody with a lick of sense wouldn't simply rip open a package of hot soup or noodles with sauce in zero-G. A little thinking-ahead, a bit of careful snipping with scissors, and your space meal will end up in your belly, not on your jumpsuit. I wonder if anyone has experimented in space with brewing beer, vinting wine, or distilling spirits. Liter bottles of single-malt Scotch, made and aged on the International Space Station, could help defray the costs of sending people to space. "Bidding for ten bottles of Low Earth Orbit Special Old Ten-Year, starting at $500,000..."

Space stations are (essentially)completely sterile. Fermentation kinda needs to happen to make alcohol.

[@deficator750]

Sometimes u can’t keep changing things simple and expect it to be better eventually you reach a peak

[@eemcastaneda1386]

I started watching survival videos and now I’m here 😁. Interesting video 👌🏻

[@ssplintergirl]

Such sharp, specific language.

[@jcortese3300]

5:05: Pepper dispenser assembly. I love it. :-)

[@relaxedsup5075]

So my tax dollars pay for capri sun packets to be sent to space.. I'm actually ok with this... shit never belonged on Earth.

[@WorldWalker128]

ikr?

[@jimmoss1744]

Your a witty one aren't you.

[@69op2gg1005ify0m]

your tax dollars is less than $5 a month for nasa's entire budget....so maybe next time try to lobby to get some help?

[@69op2gg1005ify0m]

that's equivalent as getting a big cup of starbux coffee for astronaut a month...yeah sux i know..

[@suedesocks4429]

69op2gg1005ify0m Woosh

[@anjou6497]

2022, this is what we need to get our heads around NOW.

[@jimmywayne983]

How wicked that Capri Sonne actually had their juice packaging used in space! Worlds best juice FTW *lol*

[@soullessSiIence]

Caprisun*

[@joanwu8499]

Despair Even though the name was changed from Capri Sonne to Capri Sun in 2017, many people in Europe still call them Capri Sonne. It’s not wrong tho

[@KawiAddict46]

And now we know who doesn't know the translation of "Sonne" 😂

[@tested]

It's the same technology, but the retort food for NASA is prepared at Texas A&M. The food for astronauts has fewer calories than most MREs and much less salt. There are really gnarly side effects for astronauts living on orbit for extended periods of time that can be partially avoided by eating low-salt diets. (bone loss, etc)

[@gregmarrero3400]

That's actually a really interesting job

[@kitt3813]

Love how she puts both of them in their stoopid place

[@daimenhazard160]

Let's play: Guess what she's about to say before she says it!

[@hellohi3097]

Lol

[@skullcharger887]

testing food and not using any describing words what so fucking ever

[@10buffster]

+skullcharger887 *tries tomato soup "There's chunks of tomatoes in here"

[@ishtar0110]

+10buffster *Ate a spoonful of tomato soup "Hmm... Tastes like tomato soup."

[@finditandfixit2081]

+skullcharger887 She was probably on a time limit. The video was already long enough. Get better speaker. I swear.

[@skullcharger887]

+Kevin Nguyen yeah but like if it was soft or hard or crunchy or mushy anything at all that expanded our understanding of the food beyond the name and pictures of it...wouldnt have added but a few seconds of any at all

[@finditandfixit2081]

skullcharger887 This isn't no fucking food video. IF you want food video go watch them. This video was made to understand how Astronaut eat in space. You watch too many mre channel dude. It will not be a couple second on each packaging, he/she will comment back etc. Video will drag on, This was already near 30 minutes.

[@ArrowSmith95]

only difference between the military food and space food ( "flexible can" ) is velcro and a bar code

[@stivesyy]

Steve1989 where you at???

[@KillerkoUK]

That pendulum thing to measure weight in space was the most interesting thing I learned out of the whole video.
