Space food

No detail is neglected when it comes to the business of manned space flights, even the menu. We have come a long way since Tang but have yet to conquer the mystery of sending astronauts into space with their favorite freeze-dried pizza. Nutrition, taste, durability and weight are all factors in preparing the 6,570 meals that must be ready for the mission to the Red Planet
