How Do Astronauts Eat and Drink in Space?

Hello there, curious explorers! Today’s topic is an amusing one: Eating and drinking in space. What does an astronaut eat in a day? How do they actually prepare and eat food in microgravity, while food is floating around? If you’ve ever wondered these questions and couldn’t find the answer to what an astronaut’s diet looks like, you’ve arrived at the correct place. As you might imagine, astronauts don’t always get to eat fresh-out-the-oven kind of food, instead, they usually get their food in the form of a paste, straight from little pouches or tubes. On the other hand, there are exceptional meals if you prefer pizza for dinner. “Do they use an oven?” you might also ask, and the answer is yes. One might not be satisfied eating cold food every meal. If you’d like to know more about the way astronauts eat and how they survive that way, make sure to watch the video above! #engineering
