The future of space travel is vegan!
Vegans are from the future,eat meaters are cavemen!
連太空人都要吃素了!
Go vegan or go back to earth XDWhy choose a Kind,
clean Vegan diet?For:
- the Animals,
- the Planet,
- world Hunger,
- Ethical evolution,
- great Heath, and- Affordability.
溫室效應，地球暖化已不可逆轉，
也希望政府倡導多綠能~~力行環保蔬食，
減少消費，同時以愛化解仇恨，
努力促成真正的世界一家 和平一心。
「付出才會傑出。」「做別人生命中的貴人。」「讓他們的日子因為有你而變得更美好。」
很認同這段文字。

Vegan Martians: NASA Reveals Plant-Based Menu for Mars Mission
October 14, 2015If you’ve seen the fantastic new film The Martian,
you know that a vegan diet (mostly potatoes) plays an integral role
in the survival of astronaut Mark Watney, played by Matt Damon.
What you may not know is that in a case of life imitating art, NASA is actually
planning the first manned mission to Mars and the astronauts traveling
there will eat an entirely vegan diet.
That’s right. According to a recent article, “So far NASA’s Advanced Food
Technology (AFT) project has developed over 100 vegan recipes for the future
Mars six-to-eight person crew. Why vegan? Well, simply because it is not
feasible to preserve meat and dairy projects long enough for the trip. Plus,
it is easier to grow fruit and vegetables than to store cattle!”
Standard astronaut fare typically consists of freeze-dried or liquid meals.
While these vegan meals will also come pre-prepared, they will be
supplemented by vegetables grown in Martian greenhouses, giving astronauts
more freedom to choose what they’re cooking.
This move not only makes logistical sense and guarantees that astronauts
will benefit from a nutrient-rich plant-based diet, but also ensures that
no animals are harmed by humankind’s next giant leap into space.
But you don’t need to be an astronaut to reap the benefits of a vegan diet.

First Vegan on Mars!
Posted by Amanda Schinke
If all goes as planned, when astronauts take their first steps on the surface of Mars,
it’ll be a giant leap for vegan kind. That’s because NASA is hard at work on
developing a menu for the first manned mission to Mars—and since the meals
need to be as nutrient-dense as possible and have a long shelf life, it’s only
natural that the menu will be exclusively vegan. After all, vegan food is packed
with vitamins and fiber but not any of the artery-clogging animal fat and cholesterol
found in meat, eggs, and dairy products. Unlike dairy products, freeze-dried
vegan meals do not have to be refrigerated, so they’re ideal for space travel.
So far, scientists have created 100 recipes that will be freeze-dried for the journey,
including sushi and vegan pizza. The astronauts can even supplement their pre-prepared
meals with fresh fruits and vegetables that they’ll grow in an onboard
greenhouse—because as we all know, while vegan convenience foods are great,
fresh vegan dishes are even better.
Whereas the astronauts who went to the moon relied on Tang and freeze-dried
ice cream, vegan meals are the food of the future, and for good reason: Vegans
tend to be slimmer and less prone to heart disease, strokes, cancer, and even
cataracts than meat-eaters are, so choosing vegan meals is a great way to
“live long and prosper” for many years to come.
What’s more, since the meat industry wreaks havoc on the environment,
going vegan is one of the best ways to conserve water and cut down on pollution,
including greenhouse-gas emissions—which can help ensure that when astronauts
leave the Red Planet, they’ll return to one that’s still “green.”
Of course, vegan meals are also kinder to animals, so serving up vegan dishes
onboard the space shuttle would continue a trend for NASA, which has begun
to move in an animal-friendly direction over the years. As you may recall, in
late 2010, NASA canceled plans to subject squirrel monkeys to harmful doses of
radiation after a vigorous campaign that included scores of protests and more than
100,000 letters, phone calls, and e-mails from PETA supporters.
Perhaps the best news is that we don’t have to man a mission to Mars to experience
all the great benefits of vegan meals! We can all give them a try right here on Earth.
You might even want to start with your very own vegan pizza or sushi—and if anyone
asks, just say, “I’m eating like an astronaut!”
NASA goes vegan!
NASA Astronauts On Mars Mission Will Eat 100% Vegan Menu

As NASA gears up for its proposed manned missions to Mars in 2030, the space
administration’s Advanced Food Technology (AFT) project is ensuring that the
crew will have a completely vegan diet of fresh fruits, vegetables and even live
plants. We’ve long been familiar with the traditional astronauts’ fare of liquid
meals and freeze-dried food stuffs—oh, and Tang—but when considering plans
to send astronauts further afield and beyond the reach of supply vessels, the
AFT has found it must create healthier space-meals and methods to grow food
in zero-gravity.
Science-fiction films and series such as Sunshine and Star Trek have long shown
the need for massive hydroponic bays on space ships in order to have a completely
sustainable food source for the crew. On previous missions, a lack of gravity has
meant that taste and smell has hindered food preparation, but NASA are ensuring
that for missions to Mars, astronauts will be able to chop vegetables, cook and
grow plants in a hydroponic solution.
So far NASA’s Advanced Food Technology (AFT) project has developed over
100 vegan recipes for the future Mars six-to-eight man crew. Why vegan? Well,
simply because it is not feasible to preserve meat and dairy projects long enough
for the trip. Plus, it is easier to grow fruit and vegetables than to store cattle!
Senior research scientist Maya Cooper stated: “Mars is different just because it’
s so far away. We don’t have the option to send a vehicle every six months
and send more food as we do for the International Space Station.”
