What does an astronaut eat in apace? This is a question that will puzzle many people. In the early space travel years, astronauts ate dehydrated (脱水的) foods that were eaten through straws (吸管). In today’s space-age, the food that they eat is quite different. They eat food in the same way as people do on Earth.
Astronauts are able to prepare and eat a variety (多样化) of foods in space now. Some can be eaten in their natural form, like fruits, while some need to add water, like noodles. However, there are no fridges, so the food has to be prepared and eaten without being stored for a long time. When the astronauts are hungry, they simply eat the food by opening the food packages and eat with a fork, knife and spoon.
Just like people on Earth, astronauts also eat three meals a day which include breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes they also eat snacks. The US space agency NASA has found out that an astronaut’s diet reduces (减少) by about 70% on a space mission, though he has a wide range of foods to choose from like nuts, chicken, beef, seafood and candies. Drinks in the spaceship include coffee, tea, juices, and lemonade.
Astronauts can also ask for a special food that they would like to have in space. Scientists are always experimenting and trying out different space foods that can be offered to astronauts when on space missions (任务).
