MaxineIn space, food needs to be specially prepared to prevent crumbs and liquids from floating around the spacecraft. Also, astronauts often miss the enjoyment of certain foods due to changes in their taste buds caused by space travel. Additionally, they have to deal with the challenge of eating in microgravity, which can make it difficult to keep food on a plate or utensils in hand.

How are conditions on the International space station different from on earth?
weightlessness
How are space shuttles and space stations similar and different?
Space shuttles and space stations are similar in that they are both used for space exploration and research. However, space shuttles are spacecraft designed for transport between Earth and space, while space stations are large structures designed for long-term habitation in space by astronauts. Additionally, space shuttles can return to Earth, while space stations remain in orbit.
Where can one find images of the Earth taken from the International Space Station?
There are many different places one might go to locate images of Earth taken from the International Space Station. One of the best resources would be the official Space website.
Is gravity the same size on earth?
Gravitational Acceleration is 9.8 m/s^(2). This is a mean figure for Earth. At different points on the Earth's surface the above figure will vary very slightly. However, different objects in space have different gravitational accelerations. The Moon is 1.625 m/s^(2) The Sun is 274 m/s^(2)
Why is International space station being assembled instead of on earth?
The International Space Station (ISS) is being assembled in space rather than on Earth because it is a complex structure that needs to be launched into orbit. It is not possible to build it on Earth and then launch it into space in one piece due to its size and weight. Instead, it is being assembled piece by piece in space by multiple space agencies from different countries, using space shuttles and other spacecraft.
