NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick recently posted an amusing video on the internet from the International Space Station (ISS) area that has made the hearts of citizenry lighter. For instance, while floating in microgravity, he could be seen in a lighthearted video taking a ketchup straight from the bottles.
This quirky act has led to a spirited debate among viewers: is it awesome or gross? So, without further ado, let’s get into this exciting topic and find out who Matthew Dominick is, all about eating in space, and the fans’ response.
Who is Matthew Dominick?
One of the most famous astronauts of the class of 2017 is Matthew Dominick. Having an academic education, and a bachelor degree in Science specializing in Electrical Engineering obtained from the University of San Diego and master degree in Systems Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School, he has all the competent qualities required to work in space. Further, his experience working at the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School has developed him for working at the ISS.
The Fun of Eating in Microgravity
Most notably, how does one feed oneself when you are in a state of microgravity? This thesis of how folks eat is completely irrelevant to this supposition because every single food item can and will be floated away. This is a place where people work on decisive creative ideas which may fit the situation.
In space, food such as ketchup is put in unusual containers to avoid spilling since that would be a disaster to clean up. Dominick’s misadventures with ketchup show that astronauts look for fun in even the minutiae of their day and can turn even a sign as ordinary as ketchup into a big deal.
Viewer Reactions: Awesome or Gross?
Indeed, following Dominick’s video, people have engaged in a spirited debate online. He said ‘What I’ve told anybody either they feel it is awesome or it is gross’. Nothing in between.” This statement represents what viewers perceives on the TV, according to his or her observations.
Some consider this video amusing as proving that people in space are carefree as anyone back on Earth, but others worry about hygiene standards or the fact that one can literally drink from the bottle.
The Science Behind Food in Space
Apart from the laughter, Dominick’s ketchup moment stimulates the viewers’ desire to learn more about practicality and science of the food in space. NASA has committed a lot of resources to make food taken in space safe, healthy, and easily manageable in weightlessness. This includes packaging solutions and methods of food preparation for a space environment in WISE.
Conclusion: A Lighthearted Glimpse into Space Life
Matthew Dominick’s mischievous interaction with ketchup on the ISS also made people a nice refreshing reminder that who says astronauts do not enjoy the humor of simple life’s activities. This, whether you think it is awesome or gross is a video depicting the science and humour of this great big universe and our role in it.
