介绍:
What do Russian, American, Japanese and Chinese astronauts eat in space? Do they eat the same things as on earth or something totally different? Are they tasty? The truth may blow your mind.
Russia
As the first country to send astronauts into space, Russia has started to develop space food since the early 1960s. Food that could be sucked was the earliest type of space food, but astronauts still felt hungry after eating it.
Now Russian astronauts can enjoy a variety of food similar to that on earth, such as black bread, honey cake, Polish pike and Russian cheese. Food is stored in special packages, and astronauts can eat it with a spoon or a fork rather than suck it with a straw.
America
Fast food is the main food for American astronauts. Their delicious food includes sausage pies, spicy grilled fish, potato roast beef, butter bread and drinks like Coca-Cola.
Japan
Japanese space food expresses their unique cultural identity. Most of it is traditional Japanese food including rice balls, tomato fish, curry noodles, mountain vegetables, beans, rice and sweet.
China
Chinese space food has become more diverse and delicious in recent years. Food is arranged differently in different phases of the mission. For example, astronauts can eat porridge if they lack appetite during their first days in space. While in the later stage, food with low fiber along with multivitamins will be brought in.
For the Shenzhou Ⅺ astronauts, the recipe changed every five days during their 33-day stay in space.
