Answer 1

1. Food in space used to be like science fiction because it was all in powders, small cubes, and metal tubes.
2. Each astronaut has their own personalized menu to ensure that they have a diet that suits their individual needs and preferences.
3. They have tasting sessions to make sure that the food is appetizing and that the astronauts will actually want to eat it.
4. Seasoning is important in space because the sense of taste is dulled in microgravity, so food needs to have strong flavors in order to be appealing.
5. Salt and pepper on the space station are in liquid form because they could be a hazard if they were loose in the microgravity environment.
