NASA spent months engineering the perfect menu for the Artemis II mission.
Key facts
- The Artemis II crew traveled 252,756 miles from Earth, breaking the distance record set by Apollo 13 in 1970, and after all that record-breaking, what they wanted was a peanut butter and grape jelly
- When the four astronauts climbed aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft (which they dubbed Integrity), they embarked on a 10-day journey that will finally see their splashdown tonight, April 10
- There are cashews and almonds, mango salad and butternut squash, and more than 10 types of beverages, all culminating into 189 unique food items
- Because bread is banned in space (crumbs can damage precision instruments), there are 58 tortillas
Summary
There are cashews and almonds, mango salad and butternut squash, and more than 10 types of beverages, all culminating into 189 unique food items. But perhaps one food item not on the list will be the one that the Artemis II crew will talk about forever: Uncrustables. Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen have all been promised a lifetime supply of the peanut-butter-and-jelly treat upon their splashdown, expected later today.
