This presentation will give an overview of food that has been eaten in space flight from early days to the present, including the food on the International Space Station. Also addressed will be special requirements for nutrient content, various methods of processing, and food packaging. Because space vehicles are closed systems, the process of handling human waste in space will also be discussed.
