When the first shuttle Columbia or STS-1 blast off for the moon in April 12, 1981 by the commander, John Young, and pilot Bob Crippen. Scientist has been working on how to bring food in to outer space. According to (Witze, Alexandra. "Space Eats.) “Space food was born in August 1961 when cosmonaut Gherman Titov nibbled a few crackers while orbiting Earth, months later John Glenn was America's first man to eat anything in the near-weightless environment of Earth orbit. He found out that eating in space was an easy tasks but also found the menu provided by NASA was limited. According to (Sandhana, Lakshmi. "SPACE FOOD) in the early years the astronauts of the Mercury project contributed their share to space food design by gallantly munching through

With the climate of zero gravity, it is hard for astronauts to just pure juice form a gallon to a cup, or eat some stir-fry rice from a plate. According to (Sandhana, Lakshmi. "SPACE FOOD) there are a few items that just do not work in space for example carbonated drinks like coke or soda because the carbonation and the soda separate in microgravity so it is impossible for astronaut to get the full taste of their soda. However, NASA has created a machine that can provide cold and hot water and even juice. How the machine work it is very simple all the astronauts have to do is to insert a plastic bag the hole then a needle will penetrate the package than they will dial up to 8oz then when they are ready to drink it they will put a straw in …show more content…
Thermostabilized Food, are that needs heat to be process tuna is one of them. Rehydratable Food like oatmeal is easier to store in can. Intermediate Moisture Food, Natural Form Food, Irradiated Food, and Refrigerated Food are also a way for astronaut to bring food into space. Even though space is, a very vast place a space shuttle does not have enough place to store food. However, scientist and engineer manage have a storage that can store food for astronaut. They have put enough food that can last at least 112 days. Now days with the technology that the space station have scientist and plant physiologist are a cosmic greenhouse into space. Building a greenhouse in space require a very close up place that content oxygen so the plant can grow. According to (Witze, Alexandra. "Space Eats.) These experiments are taking place at the Kennedy space center, which show that plants need a blue LED light to help them grow and blue light helps them to orient
