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!

      I remember doing a science project on the subject of hydroponics when I was younger, only I grew an arrangement of flowers, as well as cantaloupe. The only thing is, I never actually tried eating the cantaloupe! Maybe I should try hydroponics again, but with more vegetables! I wonder what it would taste like... it might be similar to space-grown salad! :D
