Living in space is fascinating, but favourite foods are restricted due to NASA's strict space cuisine guidelines. Here's the list of 8 foods that are restricted in space.
Bread (Especially crumbly varieties): Crumbs pose a significant hazard in microgravity, potentially clogging air filters and contaminating equipment.
Cookies: The likelihood of cookies turning soggy and floating in space poses challenges for astronauts.
Carbonated Beverages: In microgravity, the separation of gas and liquid in carbonated drinks is disrupted, leading to discomfort for astronauts.
Loose Salt and Pepper: These seasonings can float freely, irritating eyes and equipment.
Fresh Milk: There is no scope for refrigeration in space, and has a very short shelf life.
Ice-Cream: Regular ice cream isn't allowed in space since there are no freezers on spacecraft.
Pizza is a no-go in space due to crumbly messes that can cause issues in microgravity environments.
Alcohol: NASA prohibits alcohol consumption on spacecraft due to its potential hazards in the unique space environment.
