30: Life in Space - How to beat hunger beyond the atmosphere

What do astronauts eat in space? How has space food evolved overtime? What happens to an astronaut's sense of taste? Are crumbs dangerous in space? What surprising role has Taco Bell played in astronauts' diets? In the thirtieth episode of The Sound of Space, we wrap up season three with a fun discussion about food in space. Join our hosts, Theo, Ketan, and Youssef, as they humorously explore the evolution of space food, from the early missions in the space race to the sophisticated meals aboard the ISS today. Learn about the unique challenges of storing and preparing food in zero gravity conditions, and discover why your favourite meals might taste different in space. With exciting stories, fun-facts, and thought-provoking "would you rather" questions, you'll get a glimpse into what dining is like beyond Earth's atmosphere.
