Astronauts control almost nothing in space except what they eat, making food crucial for morale. Their personal utensil kits (scissors, chopsticks, spoon) are sent to the International Space Station and can be taken home, maintaining a tangible connection to Earth.
Everything that we do in space is controlled and it's timed down to the, you know, 5-minute increments. But food is the one thing that you have control over. You can decide what you want to eat, mostly when you want to eat it, how much you want to eat. So that's why it's so important to get it right.
This is actually the utensil kit that we're sending with the crew. We send them a scissor, we send them a nice pair of chopsticks, and we send them a spoon. This is actually yours to keep. Are you serious? You can take that with you. It's got good weight to it.
Yeah. I'll ask the question. The Russians, they sneak the vodka on there. I can neither confirm nor deny what you're talking to me about right now. Want to go for a beer afterwards? We can talk.
