What are the interesting things in space?

1. When drinking water, if you use an ordinary cup, the water will not flow down even if you turn the cup upside down. Because in a spacecraft, water loses weight. To drink water, astronauts have to use a plastic cup with a straw.

2. Walking in a spaceship is more interesting. A person will float into the air with a little effort, and a cough may cause him to take several steps back. In order to walk smoothly, astronauts wear shoes with hooks on the soles to firmly hook onto the gridded floor.

3. Taking a shower in a spaceship is not easy. The water sprayed from the nozzle always floats in the air. To solve this problem, scientists designed a special shower.

4. There is an abundant supply of food in space, with a wide range of varieties and rich nutrition, but astronauts cannot taste the food in space.

How astronauts eat in space:

1. More than 100 kinds of space food:

Astronauts’ food is rich and colorful, from the first ten Several species have grown to more than 100 species. Astronauts generally eat 4 meals a day, and the recipes within a week are not repeated. Some people think that astronauts’ food is made into toothpaste and eaten in a squeeze, which must be boring. In fact, this was the situation of early astronauts, and it is no longer what it used to be.

Astronauts can eat sausage pies, spicy grilled fish, beef stew, brioche bread, black bean soup, tuna salad, cookies, chocolate, yogurt, preserved fruit, juice and more in space. A variety of delicacies, and American astronauts can even drink their favorite Coca-Cola.

When astronauts on the U.S. space shuttle eat, they first take out the plastic bags marked with the day and meal from the food cabinet. Each plastic bag contains 7 kinds of food for one astronaut.

Space food is all dehydrated food. Before eating, you can put the food into a bowl-shaped container, then use a syringe to pour a certain amount of water into the container, and then put it in the oven to heat. A meal can be "cooked" in less than half an hour.

2. Unusual eating movements:

The space dining table is specially made. It is magnetic and can absorb cutlery such as knives, forks, spoons, bowls, plates, etc. It is equipped with a water cooler and heater on the table. When eating, astronauts must first fix their feet on the floor and their bodies on the seats to prevent them from floating around.

When facing the food on the table, you must not be anxious. You must pay attention to the coordination of a series of actions such as holding the bowl, picking up the rice, opening your mouth, and chewing. Be gentle when holding the bowl. If you move too hard, the rice will float out of the bowl. You must be decisive when picking up rice and vegetables. The pinches must be precise and tight. It is best not to pull around in the bowl to prevent the food from floating away. Use a fork. works best.

After the food is caught, open and close your mouth quickly, because even the food put in your mouth will "fly" away if you don't close your mouth; the rhythm should be slowed down when chewing, Chewing slowly is beneficial to digestion, can also reduce the production and excretion of waste gas in the body, and avoid pollution of the astronauts’ living environment.

Some people like to chat while eating, but the most taboo thing about eating in space is talking while eating. Talking while eating will cause the chewed food bits to fly out of the mouth and float in the dining room or living cabin. If the astronauts are not careful to inhale the food into the nasal cavity, it will easily choke into the lungs and cause danger.
