The scientists said what and how will people eat on March

Food scientist and President of the Institute of Food Technology Michelle Perchonok in a recent interview told the story of Martians from Earth. Before the first inhabitants of Mars will be a huge stress. When they launch into space, then they reach the planet only 2-3 years. However, the critical question for them will be just food, because without it, the astronauts just die.

Michelle Perchonok spent 17 years working at the John Johnson Space Center in Houston.

She worked as a Manager of Advanced Food Technology and System Manager, power shuttle, overseeing the nutrition program for astronauts living in low earth orbit.

Perchonok said that the diet of the astronauts have to solve a huge number of difficult problems. The main problem in space is delivery, because the food should not fall under the influence of the cold vacuum of space. NASA has studied the issue and concluded that the food should be in harmony with the space ship, because the place is critical.

That's a huge pantry ineffective.

The shelf life of food is another problem, how to grow food and be prepared there is no possibility. Food can be stored for a couple of months that will be a problem for flight to Mars. On the red planet, you can not keep it open, because it will change the structure of the products.

Perchonok offers a way to a longer starter or a special starch. However, the first people on March will deal with agriculture, but it will solve the problem with food.

First, Mars will plant wheat and soybeans, because NASA has been breeding special varieties of space. Then fresh fruits and vegetables and then potatoes. Only then the colonists will begin to grow artificial meat and the import of aquarium fish that has come up in Japan.

But the biggest problem is cooking. Because of the atmosphere and gravity would be hard to make at least a fire to boil water. This question is not important, because the Martian gravity can change at any moment. Now scientists offers solutions and carry out tests in order to choose the best.
