NASA astronaut Jonny Kim recently showcased his makeshift cheeseburger, dubbed the 'ranger burger', while aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Lacking easy access to fresh food, he concocted a burger using beef steak, wheat snack bread, cheese spread, and a layer of potatoes au gratin, topped with gochujang red pepper paste. Sharing his creation on social media, Kim expressed his longing for cooking for his family but found comfort in this unique space meal, demonstrating the resourcefulness astronauts must employ when faced with limited food options in orbit.
I miss cooking for my family, but this hits the spot in its own way.
Astronauts are not only forced to get creative with what they have access to, they have to make sure they're consuming enough calories while in outer space.
