NASA's Artemis II menu offers 189 options including maple syrup
Technology
NASA's Artemis II astronauts are getting a seriously upgraded menu for their trip around the Moon: think at least 189 different food options, including Canadian maple syrup.
Astronaut Jeremy Hansen even helped choose some of the dishes.
Before takeoff, the crew taste-tested everything to make sure it matched their preferences and met all the nutritional needs for space travel.
Artemis II meals support crew health
Space food isn't just about taste: it has to be easy to store, quick to prep, and not make a mess (crumbs in zero gravity are bad news).
These meals help keep astronauts healthy and focused during their 10-day mission launching April 1.
It's another step toward making long trips in space feel a little more like home.
