There I was thinking that astronauts existed only on freeze-dried powders and tubes of food paste, but apparently not. Watching a documentary about the space shuttle I was interested to find out that the astronauts all got to choose their favourite sandwich to go into space with them. The "house mother" who looks after the crew in the days preceding the launch then ensures that each astronaut has a packed lunch under their seat at lift off which they can then tuck into when they reach orbit!
What a pity I hadn't known sooner I could have sent NASA a full set of our
space lunchboxes perhaps even
lunchboxes personalised with each crew members' names and photo.
I guess its too late now the shuttle programme has stopped. Maybe Mr Putin would like some for the Russian rockets?
