A lot of the foods we picked,
we actually don’t mind eating them
room temperature.
So really, this living space is everything.
And right now, let’s think of it
as our kitchen, where the four of us
will gather to share meals when we’re
on our nine-day trip around the Moon.
And when you eat food in space,
it’s all pre-prepared:
you rehydrate it, or you just
open it up ready to eat.
So over next here to the commander’s
seat is our potable water dispenser.
So inside here is how
we’ll set up our device
that we go to portion out water to
fill up water bags for us to drink,
but also to rehydrate
the food that we’ll be eating.
We can warm the food in the food warmer.
Looks like a little briefcase, really,
and you put your food in there
and it just warms it up.
Takes probably about an hour. It’s
not like a microwave or anything.
It’s just warm inside the suitcase.
The foods that we picked
as our desired foods,
we tried them without warming them
up to save ourselves time.
And there’s just not a lot of space
availability in that food warmer.
So a lot of the foods we picked,
we actually don’t mind eating them
room temperature.
You end up with a lot of packaging.
So that’s one of the things
you have to manage.
We do have Velcro around
the vehicle already.
But everything that you use
and want to set down,
you’ve got to find a piece
of Velcro to stick it to.
And one of those things
is the food packages.
And so, they all have Velcro on it.
As you’re waiting for them to rehydrate,
you have to Velcro them somewhere
As you’re waiting for them to rehydrate,
you have to Velcro them somewhere
before you consume them.
