In 1961, Soviet astronaut Gagarin saw the blue Earth for the first time in space, and since then mankind has opened the door to a new world in a few decades. The rapid development of the aviation industry, hundreds of astronauts have flown to space, and even landed on the moon, thousands of years of human "flying" dream has become a reality. Aerospace engineering is a huge cost, high scientific and technological content, the manufacturing system requirements are extremely strict comprehensive project, only the national strength is prosperous, prosperous and stable, talented countries will have the ability to do it successfully, and China, the United States, Russia are real space powers, the three countries have their own space station in space soaring, these not only need the hard power of science and technology, but also need some indispensable "soft power", such as three meals a day that can be easily eaten on the earth. In space, it becomes an extremely complex problem. #2021中国正能量 #
Food is essential for human beings, the environment in space is much more complex than on earth, it is difficult to "open fire to cook" in the case of weightlessness, there are food residues, liquid, granular food are also difficult to eat in space, astronauts' diet requires scientists to carefully design, strict allocation, in order to allow astronauts to maintain sufficient energy in space to complete the task. Scientists from various countries have also carried out decades of research and improvement on space food, and now astronauts no longer have to eat "toothpaste tube extruded" food like the original astronauts, the types and taste of space food have been greatly enriched, but China as a food country, in this regard has an outstanding talent, our space food although the research started relatively late, but the completion of "curve overtaking" is still easy, compare the space food of Russia and the United States, It will definitely deepen the impression that China is a big food country again.
【Space Food in Russia】
Russia is one of the earliest countries to go to space, early due to various technical limitations, the space food at that time is generally toothpaste-type packaging of semi-liquid food and a bite can eat small biscuits and other foods, this "toothpaste" in the food types although still quite rich, such as red cabbage soup, sea buckthorn fruit puree, beef barley soup, etc., but will be made into a tasteless semi-liquid paste, space astronauts tongue can not secrete more saliva, taste nerve blunting, astronauts can not see the appearance of food, Can't smell the taste of food, or even taste the taste of food, according to China's requirements for food "color and flavor" do not occupy a single one, such food is no wonder that the astronauts at that time said "like taking medicine".
Now the quality of Russian aerospace food is much higher, the Russian Food Industry Research Institute Special Food Technology Department for astronauts to develop a lot of new dishes, vegetable soup, mushroom soup, Spaghetti, tomatoes, fried rice, pork mashed potatoes, cheese, fried shrimp and other varieties are also quite rich. There are even meals such as beef tongue, herring pie and chicken steak.
This is a typical Russian airline food package, the food in the tube has puree, red cabbage soup, cream and other ingredients, canned food has chicken vegetables, veal and other staple foods, tin foil sealed food has candy, almonds, etc., as well as dehydrated vacuum food, bread and other foods.
【American Aerospace Food】
Americans like to eat "fast food", aviation food is also indispensable to these, such as sausage pie, brioche bread, banana almond shortbread, Turkish sausage, fruit pudding, tuna salad, etc., while sandwiches, hamburgers and other Favorite Foods of Americans, but in the space diet in a small proportion, mainly in zero gravity environment, these easy to fall off the crumbs may cause great trouble.
Coke, orange drinks, fruits, etc. have also been sent to space, and in some traditional American festivals, you can also eat pizza, turkey dinner and other delicious food.
【China's Aerospace Food】
The variety of Space Food in China is probably beyond the reach of other countries. In 2003, Yang Liwei only stayed in space for one day, but there were 20 or 30 kinds of food prepared for him, and in 2012, "Shenjiu" flew into space and has prepared 7 categories of 70 kinds of Chinese foods, including shredded fish, pine nuts and corn, wood whisker meat, assorted fried rice, spiced quail eggs, dried roasted apricot abalone mushrooms, snow vegetable meat shreds, char siu sauce, etc., all kinds of drinks, desserts, snacks, snacks and so on.
This year, Shenzhou No. 12 flew to the "Tiangong", the menu was directly configured with more than 120 kinds, in addition to the fish fragrant meat shreds and Kung Pao chicken that everyone relished, almost all the Manchu han seats were moved to space, just look at the recipes on June 21, breakfast provided coconut bread, quinoa osmanthus porridge, sauce radish, marinated quail eggs, sweet honey, lunch provided assorted fried rice, red braised pork chops, pepper potatoes, spinach beef soup, rice dumplings; dinner provided spicy tuna, milky chicken rice, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce oil wheat vegetables, rice; in addition, you can also eat chocolate, Cookies, fruit drinks, various canned foods, etc., are equivalent to "getting out of the restaurant" in space.
——Lao Jing said——
After reading these comparisons, although it is only the food to eat, there is still a little pride in the heart, and our astronauts are at least much happier than the United States and Russia in terms of eating. People take food as the sky, eat well, dress warmly is happiness, even in space. Eat pickles and eat fish and meat shredded mood is not the same, eat comfortable work efficiency can also improve a lot, study these "soft power" to the "hard power" of the promotion has a complementary effect, but do not underestimate.
I am a foraging record of the city, and I have been fighting with the world for many years, and I am still glorious and full of interest! Like to focus on eating, drinking and having fun in the city, updating recipes and food anecdotes every day, paying attention to me, enjoying food without getting lost.
