Introduction
In the zero-gravity environment of space, you might be curious about how we eat our meals. Do the food items float around freely? Well, we do follow specific rules when handling food to ensure it stays contained. For beverages, it's crucial to securely seal the packaging. There have been instances where coffee wasn't sealed properly, and floating droplets ended up reaching other astronauts. More details on this will be covered during the lectures and training sessions, which are an essential part of the preparation.
