Space, astronauts eat the first fresh salad collection ISS is romaine lettuce Video – The Messenger

Spaghetti, chicken, salad and a cup of coffee … now the menu for astronauts on the International Space Station ISS is finally complete, though there is certainly poignant absence orbiting Lola, remained over there in Detroit. But you can not have it all while navigating through the stars and already the arrival of the machine for the Isspresso in recent weeks has been great news.

Now there’s also the fresh salad that for the first time was collected and eaten on the fly, so it seems, “nature”, also because Americans Scott Kelly, Kjell Lindgren and Japanese Kimiya Yui does not have to be kind by Masterchef. Extra virgin olive oil? Balsamic vinegar? Maddechè.

 However, although for now there is no Parmitano or Cristoforetti or Nespoli to teach them to deal with it properly salad, pride flag remains in space because this historic breakthrough starring romaine lettuce red, proved very resilient in extensive tests, set up by the space agency also Italian, who had previously seen the crops end up sadly in the freezer and then shipped to the ground for questioning. You never know, in fact, with all those cosmic radiation.

 Anyway it must also be said that define – if you ever happen with some prospective tenant ISS – vegan sounds not bad while traveling between the stars.

 Scott Kelly, the sister in orbit, he has tried to make nice: “A little bite to humans, a large leaf for humanity” exclaimed NASA astronaut munching lettuce. Much better than the evergreen Fred Bongusto.
