Moreover, because of how microgravity affects human metabolism, astronauts need a lot more energy to function than people on Earth. The perfect astronaut meal: space saladNASA astronaut Frank Rubio with tomatoes growing on the International Space Station. How it tastesEmily SwaimI decided to make the meal and determine for myself what this space salad of the future would be like to prepare. Therefore, we can calculate approximately how much nutrition astronauts would earn from eating this space salad.

Two decades before Bluford's flight, Ed Dwight was an Air Force pilot who trained to be the first Black astronaut. Whitney Young of the National Urban League urged Kennedy to push the Air Force to find and train the first Black astronaut. Dwight said the famed pilot felt slighted and not being included in the decision to train a Black astronaut. "All of a sudden we were able to hire astronauts who didn't look like the classic NASA astronaut," Bolden said. During his flight, Glover had a group call with Dwight, Bluford, Bolden, and other Black astronauts.
