YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

What would astronauts eat on a manned mission to Mars? Neil deGrasse Tyson tells cohost Chuck Nice what's on NASA's menu for Mars, including how they make food taste great over long periods of time without refrigeration and what kind of sustainable livestock and crops make sense for a longterm Martian colony. It's a tasty Cosmic Query with a shelflife of 34 years the time it takes to go to and from Mars! And yes, there will be astronaut ice cream. This "Behind the Scenes" video was shot during the recording of our episode, "Cosmic QueriesHuman Endurance in Space." If you'd like to listen to the full podcast, click here
