Video of the Day: Making tacos in space
Preparing your own meals while on the road can be tough. You don't always have a proper kitchen stocked with all of the tools and appliances that you need. Ingredients can be difficult to find. Still, at least we always have gravity to help us out. Not so for astronauts. When it's dinner time, they have to assemble their tacos in zero gravity. The last thing that anybody wants is refried beans in the ventilation system. Think of this guy and his space taco the next time you want to complain that the kitchen in your RV is too cramped.

Everybody's eating tacos in space,don't you think that's information I'd like to know? I like tacos.

Big cispy crunchy crumbly messy things are a bad choice for space foods. When you take a bite, it goes everywhere. If it shorts-out your control panels, you get the Pepsi syndrome. Everything has to be bite-size so you can pop-it into your mouth and chew with your mouth closed....Al-

Did anyone mention that of course this was not done on the space shuttle. BO killed that. Was this guy a cosmonaut? Too bad america lost out to the russians.

Ah, the good old days when America had a manned space program. Hope and Change sucks!

That's the same way they do it at Taco Bell. But after gravity takes over it all ends up in your lap.
