00:00What do astronauts eat in space? Artemis mission specialist Christina Koch shows various bags of food, including mission specialist Jeremy
00:08Hansen's shrimp cocktail dinner.
00:10Let's see what we're going to pull out. So, this is Jeremy's dinner, and in space, you really just eat
00:17all of your food out of bags of some kind, plastic bags or little metallic bags, because we have to
00:26rehydrate a lot of our food.
00:28This is actually shrimp cocktail, and this has been rehydrated already. So, we added water to it, and the shrimp
00:38soaked back up the water, and it's actually pretty tasty.
00:42This is an example of a food that has not been rehydrated yet. It got all dried out for flying
00:49up here in space, and those are green beans.
00:52So, we do have to eat our vegetables even in space, but don't worry, they do give us mac and
00:57cheese.
00:57The crew is set to fly around the moon and return to Earth in a nearly 10-day expedition.
01:02Aside from U.S. astronauts Koch and Glover, the other crew members are U.S. astronaut Reid Wiseman and Canadian
01:08Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen.
01:11The four blasted off from Florida on Wednesday, April 1, on NASA's Artemis II mission.
01:16It marks NASA's boldest trip yet, and the world's first time in 53 years to send astronauts out of Earth's
01:22orbit in the vicinity of the moon.
01:23The mission tests the spacecraft's capabilities while venturing farther into space than any previous human exploration.
01:30It's a crucial dress rehearsal for a NASA lunar landing targeted in 2028.
