Completed launch rehearsal tonight. Great practice for #Crew3, @NASA & @spacex, but also great chance to check timing of launch day playlist (for 7:30 drive from suit room to @NASAKennedy launch) so #Endurance pilot
@AstroMarshburn & I hop out ready. Listen along launch day
So excited for @MarthaStewart’s feedback on our performance space truffles! #IAC2021
Astreas Energy (coffee flavor) contains 90mg of caffeine balanced with moderating effects of L-Theanine from tea
Astreas Clarity (kumquat flavor) contains nootropics & daily micronutrients!
You eat with eyes but feel with brain. The human factors in space are very different than here on earth. E.g. It’s very different sensing the water boiling, the smell of a good coffee in space. - Anil Dave #IAC2021
Phytochemicals in native foods (eg blueberries, cranberries, Concord grapes in the US) and how to access nutrients like fermenting maize are important traditions to tap into when it comes to food representation & innovation in space and on earth. @HannahMilman#IAC2021
Diversity is not only about ethnic diversity, but also of thought, of discipline, of profession. Pairing Michelin chefs w engineers, nutritionists, botanists, bioengineers, food packaging experts, business leaders is how we innovate food on earth & space -@mfoundation#IAC2021
Open innovation is essential to advancing food technologies on earth and in space. @TryAstreas wants to create customizable meals for astronauts based on their nutritional needs & flavor preferences to support long term space missions. #IAC2021
Space innovations are often impossible to have been conceived on earth, such as the effect of radiation on the resilience on seeds and plants. These innovations can help with creating more sustainable food systems here on earth & combating climate change - @HelenePapper#IAC2021
Closed environment farming is 30% more efficient. Uses significantly less water. It’s already used in Russia, Mexico, here in the UAE. It’s a very important part of the future of agriculture. -@MarthaStewart#IAC2021
Space innovation can not only help earth — it is an analogue of earth and can anticipate the challenges earth will face. -Anil Dave @TryAstreas#IAC2021
Small scale farmers produce 1/3 of the food for our planet. They are the backbone of our food system. Bring down the silos that exist so we can find sustainable and regenerative solutions for food production. - @HelenePapper#IAC2021
Very little attention was paid to food in Kubrik’s 2001 A Space Odyssey. Kurt Vonnegut also wrote about how we could save the world but we were so damn cheap. In the 90s @nytimes wrote abt kitchens of the future. That got @MarthaStewart interested in future of farming #IAC2021
Innovating in space food has major implications for rural, underserved communities. Their voices make a difference in the world we build together. Our humanity matters, and everyone’s identity matters. - @HelenePapper#IAC2021
