Dining In Zero Gravity
The challenges of eating in space have been a concern for mission planners since the earliest days of exploring beyond our planet – at one time it was questionable that we could even digent food without gravity. Once it was established that it was possible to eat in weightless conditions, scientists, bureaucrats, crackpots, and the astronauts themselves got into the act of improving their meals. Author and culinary historian Richard Foss presents a thoughtful — and sometimes funny— look at over five decades of extraterrestrial dining.
