    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.

      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.

      +Jeffery Peters (Ferrariassassin) I like how all your arguments against USA not having worse health than for example the UK is that he is stupid and that he is "soooo stupid" etc. That's amusing to me. Only seems like you are the stupid one.
      If the UK is not a first world country then why is their overall life expectancy rank 19? 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.

    • @kristopherswaby5726
      @kristopherswaby5726 8 років тому +35

      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. Why say "I'm inspired by 'your guyses' show" when you can simply say "I'm inspired by your show"?

    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.

      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.

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. But on the upside any item that has gravy or sauce is great because it will hold it in the container if it's relatively thick.

    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.

      Soylent Cocao is soy but tastes of slightly-stale chocolate. Soylent Nectar is also soy, but tastes like the leftover milk from a bowl of Froot Loops. Haven't tried the other flavors.
