Did you know what astronauts eat in space?

It is not so easy being an
astronaut, especially if you’re a big
foodie. In this case, being in space
would be for you a living hell.
The food in space must be
nonperishable, because there’s no
opportunity to refrigerate it. Also,
it must be easy to eat, because
gravitation doesn’t let eating
gourmet dishes in space.
Astronauts can’t eat hot dishes,
because in case of floating it may
burn them. Moreover, they can’t
even eat bread because of the
crumbs, that may float around. So
considering these facts, it not
difficult to understand that the
food they take is not the most
delicious one.
It is either partially or completely
dehydrated to prevent them from
spoiling. Meats are exposed to
radiation before they are put
onboard the shuttle to give them a
longer shelf life. When the
astronaut is ready to eat the space
food, he can add water to
rehydrate the meal so that it will
be edible. Not an easy work to do.
It’s estimated that astronauts eat
70 % less than people on Earth. So
if you want to lose some weight,
hurry to acquire astronauts’ skills
