What do astronauts eat in space? How has space food evolved overtime? What happens to an astronaut's sense of taste? Are crumbs dangerous in space? What surprising role has Taco Bell played in astronauts' diets? In the thirtieth episode of The Sound of Space, we wrap up season three with a fun discussion about food in space. Join our hosts, Theo, Ketan, and Youssef, as they humorously explore the evolution of space food, from the early missions in the space race to the sophisticated meals aboard the ISS today. Learn about the unique challenges of storing and preparing food in zero gravity conditions, and discover why your favourite meals might taste different in space. With exciting stories, fun-facts, and thought-provoking "would you rather" questions, you'll get a glimpse into what dining is like beyond Earth's atmosphere.

Why do rockets have 100x size differences and still share the same destinations? What were countries other than the US and Soviet Union doing in the Space Race? Can we compare rockets with foot-long sandwiches and elephants? In this twenty-ninth episode of The Sound of Space podcast, we take a time machine back a few decades to appreciate what brought us to the space age today. One of the pinnacles of human creation - space rockets were born out of military technologies in the strive to elevate their trajectory from enemy territories toward the stars above. Launch vehicle families from across the world, big and tiny, have enabled increasingly complex missions from our vicinity to much further beyond. Our ride down the chronicles will be focused on highlighting the key features of rocket families as they stand by one another. We hope you will enjoy the stories in rocket evolution with minimal science involved!
