Looks like an MRE

>>5211709
Looks even better in the Skylab

>>5211701
why can't they send up some nutrient rich lembas bread and some maca root and spirulina?

im not going to eat some nasty cream beef spinach steak nightmare shortbread candy coated poopies and have space diarea

No, that's RUSSIAN food.

In.

Space.

>two desserts

Americans truly do rule space.

they tried to have wine and alcohol in space to boost moral etc

too bad it was considered a vice and nixed to keep PR high

>>5211714
I didn't know hobbits posted here

Do astronauts really eat that shittily? I can understand having comfort food for mental reasons, but aren't astronauts supposed to be in good physical shape?

>>5211732

Its russian, you fucking retard.

>Bacon Squares

BRB NASA

>>5211727
why would they have bacon squares! seriously!

they could send up chia seeds and flax, even NUTS and dried fruit! countless dried fruit powders!

>"hue guys lets send up disgusting unhealthy dried bacon cubes, for 10,000$ in space instead of better stuff that would have taken up the same space and even less weight"

>>5211741
you realize this is space we're talking about right
basically anything that isn't processed to hell won't survive

>>5211741
Life was hard back then.

>>5211745
You also have to suck off a robot tray to get your daily fluids by the looks of it

>>5211762
fuck wrong image

>>5211755

Why's the pineapple called "pineapple cube" but the bacon and eggs and chicken aren't "bacon and egg cube" and "chicken cube"?

>>5211767

>>5211775
because bacon and egg cubes sounds so much more fucking depressing than pineapple cubes

pineapple cubes sound like something you'd put in a drink on a beach

>>5211775
maybe its just literally a dried up cube of pineapple, while the rest are compressed bacon and egg mush?

even in space, we cannot escape the instant ramen threads.

oh shit TWO servings of tropical punch on some of those meals, baby!

You may choose only one.

gimme dat orange grank

imagine being stuck on a spaceship with these assholes and all you have to eat is toothpaste and your own piss

Japan confirmed for shit tier space food.

enjoy your burgers anon

Wha... how..? educate me.

No wonder Buzz Aldrin crashed the Apollo into Canada. He just couldn't take it any more.

>fuck that, they get space slop, and they will like it!

>>5211881

>>5211868
looks like they've made liquid salt and pepper solutions.
i assume you squirt a few drops into the food pouch with the provided eyedropper.

grains of salt and pepper floating around would be bad news bears for the sensitive equipment surrounding them, and trying to use a salt shaker in space would be disastrous.

>>5211881
>enjoy your nutrient stick, private
>you've earned it

>>5211880
>Kona coffee
Uh huh

>>5211868
you have to squeeze it on the food, since particulate pepper and salt shakers don't work in zero gravity. Also having dust from salt and pepper following in zero g around super sensitive equipment that you can't just air out and clean is really bad

delicious mush cubes

I WANNA BE AN ASTRONAUT WHEN I GROW UP

that doesn't look half as bad as at least 20% of what I see on /ck/

would you like more mush sir

>>5211914
>maybe if I smile it won't taste as bad

>>5211921
guy on the left cant handle

hey, it could be slightly worse

Looks like a fucking mess every meal.

Do you go for the yellow mush, mystery mush, mush in a can, or hardtack squares first?

ooga booga where the tang at

>>5211929
Mix them!

Come on!

>>5211877
my sides, he can probably see them.

>>5211927
d'aww
they brought their own flag to wave

gimme another space beer, Gleep-glop

>>5212173
So we literally took a step back from the SkyLab thing to the bullshit velcro mush packs when we moved into the modern shuttle era...

>>5212173
skip to the five minute mark to find out how they combine pepper and ass into a convenient liquid condiment

>>5212173
kapri sun makes the spaceship drink packages

>>5212130
See >>5212173

Allows them to track the nutrition stats for each item for experimental tracking stints, or generally if they want to track their nutrition.

>>5212173
russians confirmed for sending their cosmonauts cat food and mooching off of the americans for their superior nutri mush

>>5212043
So you have to insert these things into the rehydration station once you're on the ship to make them into food

>>5211868
So the salt is just a salt-water solution, while the pepper is a light oil infusion with pepper, that they have to dab onto their food and mix in.

>>5212222
>WE NEED TO SAVE AS MUCH SPACE AS POSSIBLE
>circular cans

>>5212234
why fucking bother. get some fucking tobasco up there

>>5212197

Good to see NASA uses "ASSY," I've always preferred it over "ASM."

This is a perfectly reasonable thing to have an opinion about.

>>5212237
They even made them so the russian cosmonauts have to use can openers, and heating racks the american packets wouldn't fit in.

>>5212238
You can have any condiment requested that will fit in a squeeze tube, says the nasa hag, though they make the astronauts throw them out on set dates because space

>>5212248
i want 12 tubes of astroglide

>>5212258
That could lead to some slippery situations comrade.

>>5211701

I would be a perfect astronaut candidate. This looks like the same shit I eat everyday so I'd feel right at home. While everyone else is moaning I'll be going to town like it's my own living room.

>>5212294
fuck space

>highly combustible Pure oxygen

Oxygen isn't flammable. Much less combustible.

>>5211852
Asteroids are cool

>>5212408
>Oxygen isn't flammable.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1

>>5212307
i heard a lot of things

>>5211798
Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do

>>5212078
Probably none.

Astronauts/Cosmonauts spend their whole career training to go into space. Fucking in orbit would end a career and It could also land you in serious legal trouble.

Also, every waking minute is allocated so it would be extremely unlikely that you could 'sneak one in'.

tl;dr, Getting caught is a certainty, unemployed, testifying before congress, life ruined, consequences never the same, not enough time to actually do it anyway.

>>5212600

>>5212601
holy fuck awesome
saving that pic because its so damn applicable.

>>5211798
You're going to run out of oxygen long before you starve to death.

If the food's not already inside the helmet, it's useless anyway.

>siracha

>>5211701
Space food you say?

>>5211732

Then why is it labelled in English?

>>5212933
I think what McAutist meant is that the oxygen itself isn't combustible. High concentrations of it lend a more combustible environment.

>>5211952
Do you think the international crews play mean pranks on each other

like the russians leave the americans an upper-decker

>>5212436
>>5212933

He's right:

>The NFPA 704 standard rates compressed oxygen gas as nonhazardous to health, nonflammable and nonreactive, but an oxidizer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen

>>5212933

Also, there's a difference between being flammable and combustible. Too much for me to care to explain here, just go here:

>>5212835

notice the Sriracha bottle at the back.

>>5211732
Does the country really fucking matter when it's being eaten in space?

this thread is awesome.

thank you /ck/oks!

>>5213437
it does when you're making a "lel americans are fat" observation.

>>5212600
I would have thought the worst part was the lack of gravity.
Imagine you're bumping uglies and every thrust sends the woman flying towards the ceiling.

>>5213480
But hes right.

>>5212258
Friction is your friend, in space.

>>5212408
Ug the next generation is actually this retarded

>>5213928

Did you read the rest of the thread? Oxygen is an oxidizer. Ever heard of the Fire triangle? It says the Fire needs three things, Oxygen, Fuel, and Heat. Notice it need oxygen in addition to fuel to actual combust.

>>5213936
That's not what the word flammable means. Or the word combustible for that matter.

For something to be able to burn, you need fuel in the presence of oxygen. Oxygen in the presence of oxygen however, won't burn by itself, because oxygen isn't a fuel. That's why oxygen and fuel are 2 separate things in the 'fire triangle'.

flam·ma·ble - Easy to set on fire.
Which isn't oxygen because oxygen isn't a fuel.

com·bus·tion - rapid chemical combination of a substance with oxygen, involving the production of heat and light.
Combining oxygen with oxygen will not cause oxygen to 'burn faster' because oxygen itself won't burn in the first place.

100% Oxygen will however ensure that a fire has plenty of oxygen to use while it's burning its fuel, which causes fuel to be the limiting factor.

>tfw our great-great grandchildren will probably be experiencing zero gravity like it's no big deal while I most likely will never be able to
>Seeing Earth coming up in view of their space windows to them will be like seeing your city in the distance when driving home

And they'll come to visit me back on Earth and will tell me "Chillax Gramps, space is no big deal."
And I'll say "Damn straight it's no big deal!" as I silently remember another time.
That's a future I want to work towards.

>>5214015
Will they still
be asking retarded questions like "where are the stars HUH WHERE?!"!"

>>5213982

Anon mentioned oxygen was combustible.

Something being "combustible" is different than something being "flammable".

It is far easier to be flammable then combustible.

Everything else you said is correct.

Where da space ice cream at? I remember eating that as a kid.

Or I'm proud of my job as a firefighter, and actually learned some shit during training.

>>5212231
I don't know why, but I fucking love this thing.
Turn a knob, push a button, and you get the exact amount of water you need at the exact temperature you need.

>>5214755
In space, no one can hear ice cream

In space? 99.99999999999% chance that nothing ever happened. Back on Earth she probably got gangraped every night

How come there aren't any stars in pictures from space? Pretty obvious detail that the studio missed when they fake all this stuff.
