Interviewer: So let me ask about the space station. Was eating in space difficult
Captain Brown: Not really. We don’t have to cook in space. We choose what we want to eat before we go to space, and then the food is prepared and stored for us. We just have to heat the food and enjoy it.
Interviewer: Cool. Well, I know astronauts cannot shower in space since the water would float away, so I’d love to know how you keep yourselves clean.
