We had a crew celebration recently, and one of our crewmates expressed how much they missed sushi (as do I).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we collected and pitched in our personal supplies of fish, spam, and rice, coupled with a dash of gochujang and wasabi, which made for a great meal\u201d, he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Check out the post here:\u00a0  Jonny Kim also added a fun detail about how meals work in space:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the ISS, astronauts place tape on the dining table with the sticky side facing up. This clever trick helps them stick food, utensils, and condiments to the surface, preventing everything from floating away in zero gravity.<\/p>\n<p> Here&#8217;s how people reacted to the post:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>People on X loved the post and were amazed by the idea of making sushi in space.<\/p>\n<p>One of the users, @Skythelimit4545, commented, &#8220;Your space sushi party sounds like a blast, and that sticky-tape table hack is genius for keeping it all together in zero gravity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another user, @terranea45, commented, \u201cLove sushi too! You guys are the real stars of humanity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Some joked about wanting to try \u201cspace sushi\u201d themselves, while others were curious about how food behaves in zero gravity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Life aboard the International Space Station (ISS) recently got a tasty twist when an astronaut rolled sushi during&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194188,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3844],"tags":[44625,79188,11366,79189,70,413,79187,16,15,13357],"class_list":{"0":"post-194187","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-astronauts","9":"tag-crew-celebration","10":"tag-international-space-station","11":"tag-international-sushi-day","12":"tag-science","13":"tag-space","14":"tag-space-sushi","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-zero-gravity"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114703970519276234","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
