Space food has come a long way since John Glenn orbited Earth in 1962. He and other members of Project Mercury, the first American human spaceflight program, had to endure unappetizing foods that came in the form of bite-sized cubes, freeze-dried powders, and semi-liquids stuffed in aluminum tubes. Today astronauts can select from an extensive menu of over 70 foods and 20 beverages. The one thing they still can't get? Fresh fruits and vegetables!

                    Wow this is a interesting article. Foods can be eaten in space also and it will more fun than earth. Well they grew a lettuce in a spaceship and it sounded bitter for them. Lettuce is very bitter. They grew this lettuce by Veggie system. We can make any other kinds of food like beef jerky.
