What about the Russians? And the Chinese?
The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a

china is only the third nation to launch a man into space by itself, yet it does not mention ANYWHERE the chinese space food. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.83.166.144 (talk) 03:50, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Here's a picture of some russian food link. I have added some Russian examples, File:CosmonautVodka.jpg (a must!) and File:CosmonautFood.jpg. // Liftarn (talk) bagels in space

Good picture for the article leadhttp://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/crew-23/hires/s131e010227.jpg Shows what a meal is like in space, if only I could unwarp the image.... --Craigboy (talk) 01:00, 19 April 2010 (UTC) It's a good image. Still the current lead image is better at showing what space food looks like, while this one better depicts a meal in space. An undistorted image could be nice for the article though. Sjschen (talk) 13:22, 19 April 2010 (UTC) The caption for the first picture may mislead readers to believe that it's an ISS food tray, which I doubt as the beef steak was expired by the time Zarya was launched. As I've heard of no Battlecruiser Potemkin-like munity up there, I doubt they were given expired stuff. Furthermore, "SHUTTLE" is written on the fork. Of course, someone might have stolen it as they transferred from the shuttle to the station. I'll edit it now. -Deathmare Some images of space food used by NASA

The gravity in contemporary manned spacecraft is about the same as on the surface of the Earth. I suggest replacing low gravity with free-fall or weightless — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orangutanlibrarian (talk • contribs) 18:45, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Pick the odd one out.
The list is clearly organized by country, I'll pull out the odd one out, and feel free to put it back under whichever country he is from, or we can do a list organized be everyone's religion, either is good. Penyulap talk 02:55, 30 January 2012 (UTC) 2013 Feb 20: NASA releases new images re. space foodshttp://www.space.com/19903-space-food-evolution-nasa-photos.html Photos from the beginning of the US space program to present. Great referenceThis interview with Charles T Bourland has all sorts of useful details for this article - for instance he says that half the astronauts complained food tasted bland, the other half thought it tasted the same. He also goes into quite a lot of detail on how packaging changed and the importance of freezer access, if anyone wants to add it to the article. FlagSteward (talk) 23:27, 4 February 2014 (UTC) Rubbish sentence in introduction?It seems somebody wrote nonsense in the introduction. The last sentence reads only: "The astronaut/astronauts using this diet won't get any protein because of no meat" No period. Use of a slash for plural? 'no meat = no protein', because no other foods contain protein? This is rubbish.
Irradiated MeatThe description: "Irradiated (I) Meat - Beef steak that is sterilized with ionizing radiation to keep the food from spoiling. NASA has dispensation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to use this type of food sterilization." This is oddly misleading. Food irradiation as a means of food preservation is common, and not controversial or illegal in the USA. The guidelines for irradiating meat are set down by the FDA. Unless NASA is exceeding the recommended irradiation levels, they wouldn't need special dispensation. The way it's currently phrased implies that the practice is normally forbidden or restricted and requires an exception.

There are a lot of dates of records of different foods that astronauts have eaten in space, but there isn't a feel for the evolution of space food. I propose that the history elements be broken up into facts about the food and then the article could transition into a timeline of food-related events. For example, the "Early History" should include what space food used to be and show its evolution (through the packaging, processing, etc. sections) over time. This would call for a little restructuring of the article. Now it feels as though the names and dates aren't really contributing to what space food exactly is and how it has changed over time and could do much more as examples of the evolution. Also, I believe that a little more expansion on the "consumer derivatives" section can help the audience relate space food to their everyday lives. I couldn't find any sources for this, but any and all reliable knowledge/sources for this section would be helpful. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zport20 (talk • contribs) 22:38, 3 March 2020 (UTC) Reorganizing the article/ adding small content/ copyeditingHowdy. I believe the "Types" section should be naturally placed as the first section in the article. I feel it would answer the questions raised when first learning about space food, such as, what kind of foods are space foods, and what forms do they come in. After that, the next logical step to read about would be processing, so the rest of the article reads pretty much the same. I have added some hyperlinks to undefined words people may have questions about. (Intermediate moisture foods, etc.) I have added some supporting information to help define the importance of partially undefined pieces of information. I have made some small necessary copyediting changes. I have made some small changes to the style of the article. In some parts it was clear that the article was written by two different people. Wikipedia requires a consistent academic level of tone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mumpsoffun (talk • contribs) 20:46, 18 October 2020 (UTC) Things to look out forI have made a large number of changes to fit Wikipedia's guidelines above. However, before the article is complete, I am worried that we are still lacking content for up to date information. It is likely many advancements have been made since this article was last edited. Additionally, the consumer derivatives section may need more information to justify its existence on the page. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mumpsoffun (talk • contribs) 21:37, 18 October 2020 (UTC) Collaboration and improvement - Class C - Mid Importance - Spaceflight WikiProjectHi everyone,
