And I mean 'to go really far'
In parallel with the DELTA Mission, two Russian cosmonauts on the International Space Station (ISS) - Alexander Kaleri and Gennadi Padalka - will perform the Mediet (Mediterranean Diet) experiment, demonstrating the use of the Mediet food system on board the ISS.
The Mediet food, made from top quality Mediterranean products, will serve to demonstrate that the 'fast food' of the 21st century can be delicious and nutritious at the same time. The tray serves as a prototype of the system, which may be used in extreme environments on Earth, as well as during travelling, or simply when time for cooking, or a table to sit behind, are not available.
With a bottle of Primitivo, the Italian astronauts will feel right at home.
TrackBackSorry, but everyone knows that heroic explorer and soldier food has to consistist of grey paste and brown crackers with the general look, taste, and texture of badly stained bathroom floor tiles.
It's an established fact that the real purpose of emergency food is to be so bad that no one will eat it, but will stop complaining about starving.
