Fast Food Panel
Fast Food
Food in space travels fast, about 17,000 miles per hour, as it orbits the Earth in spacecraft. Astronauts eat slowly though, just like on Earth, as work schedules permit. While traveling in the space station is highly technical, eating has become more routine and much like that which is done on Earth, except there is no gravity.
