According to NASA, astronauts will be able to grow crops and cook their own vegetarian meals on future missions to Mars. To find out what future Martian astronauts might eat, Earth & Sky spoke to Kim Binstead, chief scientist and lead chef on the 2007 Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station mission – or FMARS mission – which simulated the experience of living on Mars for 100 days.
Dr. Binstead said the crew – stationed in the Arctic for the summer of 2007 – had the same ingredients you’d have on Mars – food with a long shelf life – plus a small indoor garden.
