5 days ago - Since 2002, the small LADA Greenhouse system (the leaf chamber is just 16 x 20 x 26 cm/6 x 8 x 10 inches) has been used on board the International Space Station to study how plants grow in microgravity and to grow edible vegetables for the astronauts. LADA includes a control module and was sent to the station already equipped with the root media for the plants to be grown and eaten in space.

The food that NASA's early astronauts had to eat in space is a testament to their fortitude. John Glenn, America's first man to eat anything in the near-weightless environment of Earth orbit, found the task of eating fairly easy, but found the menu to be limited.

As astronaut Mike Massimino says, “Food is really important in space travel. It’s more than just nutrition…we’re still human... being able to take a little bit of what you’re used to…sharing meals with friends: it’s the psychological benefit you get.” · Even in space, the kitchen really is the heart of the home.
