Astronauts eat special food in space! 🍽️ Because there's no gravity, their food floats away if it's not packed right. So, they eat from pouches or tubes, and sometimes use magnets to hold their forks and spoons! 🌌
They also have to be careful not to let crumbs float around—imagine chasing your sandwich in space! 🥪
Eating in space is tricky! 🚀 Since there's no gravity, food floats away. Astronauts eat pre-packaged meals—some are dehydrated (just add water!), and others come in pouches. They use special trays with magnets or Velcro to keep things in place. 🧲
They also have to eat slowly and carefully—no crumbs allowed, or they'll float into equipment! Some foods, like tortillas, work better than bread because they don't crumble. 🌮
Astronauts have a carefully planned diet in space! 🚀 Food is stored in vacuum-sealed pouches or cans to prevent spoilage. Many meals are freeze-dried—water is removed before launch, and astronauts rehydrate them with a special device. 🔬
Eating requires technique: they must secure their food to trays with straps or magnets. Liquids are drunk from sealed bags with straws—no open cups! Some foods, like nuts or M&Ms, are safe to eat as-is. 🍫
Scientists even study how microgravity affects taste—some astronauts say food tastes blander in space! 👩🔬
