Why do steak and eggs go together?

Actually, no matter what you enjoy in the morning, steak is going to be an excellent complement for your meal.

Do astronauts still eat steak and eggs?

Shepard's flight that morning was NASA's first, the suborbital Freedom 7, and it was a striking success. So much so that the traditional pre-launch breakfast became steak and eggs for all the astronauts. That's changed a little in recent years, though high protein/low residue is still the ideal combination.

What are astronauts not allowed to eat before going into space?

Russian space explorers, known as Cosmonauts, have a long tradition of consuming limited quantities of alcohol in space, but NASA astronauts are barred from having a drink in space. Salt, pepper and other granular spices and seasonings can make for a huge mess in microgravity.

Can u get pregnant in space?

As a result NASA's official policy forbids pregnancy in space. Female astronauts are tested regularly in the 10 days prior to launch. And sex in space is very much frowned upon. So far the have been no confirmed instances of coitus, though lots of speculation.

Why can't you eat real food in space?

There are no refrigerators in space, so space food must be stored and prepared properly to avoid spoilage, especially on longer missions. ... This is because astronauts can't sprinkle salt and pepper on their food in space. The salt and pepper would simply float away.

Do Astronauts Make Love in Space?

According to reports, NASA and other space agencies have so long denied the occurrence of any sexual activity in the space.

How do you dispose of poop in space?

Solid waste is collected in a canister as part of the waste hygiene component of the space station's toilet, and those canisters are disposed of during destructive reentry of cargo spacecraft.

What does NASA do with poop?

Sometimes, astronaut poop is brought back to Earth for scientists to study, but most of the time, bathroom waste — including poop — is burned. Poop is vacuumed into garbage bags that are put into airtight containers.

Do you get more drunk in space?

There is a widely held belief that getting sloshed at higher altitudes makes you feel woozier faster. So it would seem logical to assume drinking alcohol while in orbit could have even more bizarre effects on humans. But this notion may not actually be true.

Can you make vodka in space?

Distilling is just one way to make liquor. "If you're willing to think outside the box, you can make spirits with no distillation at all," says Berglund.

Can you drink water in space?

What do astronauts drink in space? Astronauts mainly drink water while in space, but flavoured drinks are also available. Freeze-dried drink mixes such as coffee or tea, lemonade and orange juice are provided in vacuum sealed pouches.

How much water does an astronaut need per day?

about 50 liters

How do they get oxygen on the ISS?

Most of the station's oxygen will come from a process called "electrolysis," which uses electricity from the ISS solar panels to split water into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. ... The hydrogen is used for making sugars, and the oxygen is released into the atmosphere.

Why can't you have running water in space?

So, the water drop (and air bubble) form themselves so they occupy a shape having the least amount of surface area, which is a sphere. On Earth, gravity distorts the shape, but not in space. ... In space, the air bubble doesn't rise because it is no lighter than the water around it—there's no buoyancy.

What happens if you pour water in space?

Water poured into space (outside of a spacecraft) would rapidly vaporize or boil away. In space, where there is no air, there is no air pressure. As air pressure drops, the temperature needed to boil water becomes lower. That's why water boils much faster on a mountaintop than it does at sea level.

Does water freeze in space?

Does it freeze or boil? The surprising answer is it does both: first it boils and then it freezes! We know this because this is what used to happen when astronauts felt the call of nature while in space.

Where does space station get water?

The NASA water systems on the ISS collect moisture from breath and sweat, urine from people and research animals, and runoff from sinks and showers to keep the station hydrated.

How many hours a day do astronauts spend on exercise?

On average, astronauts exercise about two hours per day in an effort to prevent bone and muscle loss while living in microgravity.

How do they get water in space?

Astronauts living and working 400 km above our planet might prefer not to think about it, but the water they drink is recycled from their colleague's sweat and exhaled breath – collected as condensation on the Space Station's walls.

How do they shower on the space station?

On the ISS, astronauts do not shower but rather use liquid soap, water, and rinseless shampoo. They squeeze liquid soap and water from pouches onto their skin. Then they use rinseless soap with a little water to clean their hair. They use towels to wipe off the excess water.
