1
00:00:08,470 --> 00:00:06,389
this is our kitchen

2
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:08,480
you might notice there's all sorts of

3
00:00:11,669 --> 00:00:09,920
foods here

4
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:11,679
it's like opening the refrigerator you

5
00:00:14,950 --> 00:00:12,960
got all your different stuff that you

6
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:14,960
want to have food in the indian culture

7
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:17,920
is super important it is like the time

8
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:20,320
of course when everybody gathers but it

9
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:22,880
means so much to have somebody prepare

10
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:24,560
food for somebody else and give it to

11
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:26,880
them as a gift

12
00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:30,160
at the jc space food systems laboratory

13
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:33,760
we develop process package and supply

14
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:35,920
majority of the food

15
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:39,120
on iss for us os crew members

16
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:41,120
so we have all this type of food some of

17
00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:43,120
it is dehydrated

18
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:45,039
and so we have to hydrate it fill it up

19
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:47,840
with water some of it is already made

20
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:50,079
and then all we have to do

21
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,879
is

22
00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:52,160
heat it up

23
00:00:56,310 --> 00:00:54,239
food on the iss is sort of an example of

24
00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:56,320
the many cultures that come and live on

25
00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:58,320
the international space station among

26
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:00,879
the standard menu there are about 10

27
00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:04,000
percent main dishes that are inspired by

28
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:06,720
asian culture they bring a unique flavor

29
00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:09,600
profile and allow ways to compensate for

30
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:11,439
the low sodium requirement we have to

31
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,400
meet this adds to the variety to the

32
00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:16,320
food system when i realized that there

33
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:17,119
was

34
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:20,799
pretty excited because this is something

35
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:22,960
that i've eaten for my whole life grew

36
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:25,280
up with in particular remind me of when

37
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:28,560
i was a kid and at home with my family

38
00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:31,119
there is a popular chinese proverb mini

39
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,840
shuitian which means that food is most

40
00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:36,000
important to the people

41
00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:38,560
food is always present in our traditions

42
00:01:43,749 --> 00:01:42,079
in any forms of rituals ceremonies and

43
00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:43,759
celebrations

44
00:01:48,069 --> 00:01:45,759
so meal time on the iss is a little bit

45
00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:48,079
varied but really the most important

46
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:49,040
meal

47
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:50,720
in my mind is dinner because that's

48
00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:52,240
really at the close of the day

49
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:54,079
everybody's sort of winding down

50
00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:56,000
everyone can eat dinner together which

51
00:02:00,950 --> 00:01:58,479
is really nice sharing food from maybe

52
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,960
your family or your culture and telling

53
00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:02,880
each other about where it came from when

54
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:05,119
you experienced it and what that means

55
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:08,640
to you and your family

56
00:02:12,630 --> 00:02:10,879
