Today’s Space, Astronomy, and Science News Podcast Welcome to Astronomy Daily for June 5, 2023 – S02E11. In this episode of Astronomy Daily, host Steve Dunkley welcomes digital reporter Hallie to discuss the latest news in space exploration. They begin by highlighting the return of Chinese astronauts and provide updates on the Dream Chaser space plane. The episode also covers a technical story about the dangers of micro-media rooids and orbital debris impacting spacecraft. Hallie introduces an interesting topic that might change Steve's perspective on space travel: frying food in space. The European Space Agency (IESA) has been funding research on cooking techniques in microgravity conditions. Specifically, they have focused on the physics and chemistry involved in frying food. The breakthrough discovery suggests that even comfort food like fries could be prepared in outer space, which could have significant implications for future lunar and Martian missions.
