See (and never unsee) a NASA astronaut eating ketchup in space

Living in space is a challenging feat, with astronauts facing risks, physical tolls, and the unique environment of zero gravity. One of the daily tasks that can become quite entertaining in space is eating, as demonstrated by NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick in a recent video.

In the video, Dominick showcases the behavior of ketchup in zero gravity, likening it to water flowing from a garden hose. The ketchup not only slides effortlessly out of the nozzle but also forms a “ketchup castle” on his chin, eliciting mixed reactions from viewers – some find it gross, while others think it’s awesome.

Interestingly, tomatoes and tomato-based products like ketchup have made their way to the International Space Station before. In late 2023, astronaut Frank Rubio had a humorous incident involving two rogue tomatoes during the eXposed Root On-Orbit Test System (XROOTS) experiment. This experiment aimed to grow plants using hydroponic and aeroponic techniques, without the need for soil. The research has implications for future exploratory missions and can also boost the morale of astronauts while providing valuable insights for farming techniques on Earth.

In 2021, ketchup giant Heinz collaborated with astrobiologists to develop a Martian Tomato Ketchup, designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions similar to those on Mars. By recreating Martian soil, temperature, and water conditions on Earth, Heinz aimed to improve ketchup quality in extreme environments.

These experiments and collaborations not only add a quirky element to space exploration but also contribute valuable insights for future missions and sustainable farming practices. As astronauts continue to push the boundaries of space exploration, everyday tasks like eating take on a whole new dimension in the unique environment of zero gravity.
