Houston, we have a podcast.

Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center.

Episode 275, eat like a Martian.

I'm Gary Jordan, and I'll be your host today.

On this podcast, we bring in the experts, scientists,

engineers, and astronauts,

ultimately know what's going on in the world of human spaceflight.

We are continuing with a reboot of our series

that outlines a human mission to and from the Red Planet.

The sixth episode shares the challenges of supplying food

for a trip to Mars.

The episode was recorded on August 17th, 2020.

Let's get started.

On this episode, we'll be focusing

on how we're thinking about food for Mars,

what kinds of food, how to preserve it,

and even if they will farm it.

So here to go into detail on food

for a human mission to Mars is Dr. Grace Douglas,

lead scientists for NASA's Advanced Food Technology,

here at the Johnson Space Center.

I hope you're hungry, because we're about to eat
