1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,061 Making a grilled cheese sandwich is simple. Unless\h you’re on the Moon. Or flying in space. \h\h 2 00:00:05,061 --> 00:00:11,498 Right now, astronauts aboard the Space Station get food\h thanks to spacecraft regularly launching from\hEarth. 3 00:00:11,498 --> 00:00:15,520 But future astronauts on a trip to\h Mars will spend years away from our planet.\h\h 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,000 That means no quick trips to the grocery\h store or cargo ships bringing supplies.\h\h 5 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,480 They’ll have to bring just about everything\h they need with them. Is that even feasible? 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,880 To boldly go where no human has gone before,\h we have to invent food production systems\h\h 7 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,240 that can be used in space. These new solutions\h could also improve our food systems on Earth.\h\h 8 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,360 They might even help us reduce\h food insecurity on our planet.\h\h 9 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,240 That’s why NASA and the Canadian Space Agency\h are launching the Deep Space Food Challenge.\h\h 10 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,080 Participants can win prize money for their\h ideas on how to keep our astronauts fed on\h\h 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,534 future space exploration missions.\h 12 00:00:48,534 --> 00:00:50,560 We believe you can make it happen.
