Questions and Answers

2.

What country did the first astronaut that ate space food come from?
- Russia
- US
- China
- France
Correct Answer

A. Russia

Explanation

The first astronaut to eat space food came from Russia. This can be inferred from the historical context that Russia was the pioneer in space exploration and had the first manned space mission with Yuri Gagarin in 1961. As a result, it is logical to assume that the first astronaut to consume space food would also be from Russia.

Space food can also be used for hikers and campers.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Space food, which is specially designed to meet the nutritional needs of astronauts in space, can also be used for hikers and campers. This is because space food is lightweight, compact, and easy to prepare, making it convenient for outdoor activities where traditional cooking methods may not be feasible. Additionally, space food is often packed with essential nutrients and has a long shelf life, making it a practical option for individuals who require sustenance during extended periods of time away from traditional food sources.

4.

What of the foods listed below is not served in space?
- Shrimp Cocktail
- Brusselsprouts
- Kimichi
- Potato Chips
Correct Answer

A. Potato Chips

Explanation

Among the foods listed, Potato Chips are not typically served in space. This is because the crumbs from potato chips can be problematic in a zero-gravity environment, as they can float away, interfering with equipment or being inhaled by astronauts. Instead, astronauts eat foods that are less likely to create crumbs or debris.

5.

What food was served in space, but no longer is served in space?
- Quail
- Bread
- Ice Cream
- Creamed Beef
Correct Answer

A. Ice Cream

Explanation

Ice cream was served in space but is no longer served due to the challenges of keeping it frozen and preventing it from melting in the microgravity environment. Ice cream requires stable temperatures to maintain its texture and taste, which is difficult to achieve in space where there is limited refrigeration and the absence of gravity affects the distribution of heat. Therefore, ice cream is no longer included in the menu for astronauts during space missions.

What were the first foods served in space?
- Chocolate Syrup and Pureed Meat
- Spaghetti and Meatballs
- General Tao's Chicken and Egg Drop Soup
- Dounuts and Bagels
Correct Answer

A. Chocolate Syrup and Pureed Meat

Explanation

The first foods served in space were chocolate syrup and pureed meat. These foods were chosen because they could be easily consumed in a zero-gravity environment and required minimal preparation. The chocolate syrup provided a familiar taste and could be mixed with water to create a drink, while the pureed meat provided essential protein and nutrients. This combination allowed astronauts to have a balanced diet while adapting to the challenges of eating in space.

7.

Which of the following food is not allowed in space?
- Cereals
- Veggies
- Tacos
- Cookies and bread
Correct Answer

A. Cookies and bread

Explanation

Cookies and bread are not allowed in space because they produce crumbs that can float around and potentially damage equipment or clog air filters. Additionally, the crumbs can be inhaled by astronauts, causing respiratory issues. Therefore, to maintain a clean and safe environment in space, cookies and bread are not permitted.

9.

What is the name of the test that the food has to pass to be transported to the astronauts in space?
- Vomit Comet
- Food space test
- Food durability test
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Vomit Comet

Explanation

The correct answer is Vomit Comet. The Vomit Comet is the nickname for NASA's reduced-gravity aircraft, which is used to simulate the weightlessness experienced in space. This aircraft is used to test various aspects of space travel, including the effects of microgravity on the human body and the behavior of objects in a weightless environment. Therefore, the food that is transported to astronauts in space has to pass the test of being able to be consumed and digested without causing any discomfort or illness, hence the reference to the Vomit Comet.

10.

Which of the following beverage is not allowed in space?
- Water
- Alcohol
- Capri sun
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Alcohol

Explanation

Alcohol is not allowed in space because it can have negative effects on the human body in a microgravity environment. Alcohol can impair cognitive function, coordination, and decision-making abilities, which are crucial for the safety and success of astronauts on space missions. Additionally, alcohol can also dehydrate the body, which is already a concern in the low humidity environment of space. Therefore, to ensure the well-being and performance of astronauts, alcohol is prohibited in space.
