Food plays a vital role in an astronaut's day-to-day routine, from shared personal experiences to building team cohesion and trust. While meals in space have come a long way since tubes of goo and freeze-dried cubes, food scientists still need to be mindful of providing meals with maximum nutrition, while also limiting their weight and packaging on long and distant missions.
Join us for a discussion with a recently retired NASA food scientist and author whose unique life experience of working with astronauts to plan space food and meals provides an interesting framework for stories of building teamwork, goal setting, innovation and leadership. Discover the development process for food systems in space travel, how times of crisis can lead to innovation, astronauts' favorite foods, and the current challenges of designing food for deep space travel to Mars and beyond.
