"Unexpectedly delicious": ISS astronauts cooked pizza in space
Space exploration is an incredibly interesting activity, although difficult: you have to sacrifice a lot. In addition to increased physical activity, astronauts spend many months away from their families, and they have to leave their taste habits on Earth, especially such as, for example, their favorite pizza.
Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli, a member of the ISS crew, said during one of the conferences that he missed Italian cuisine. Then the astronauts were sent the necessary ingredients, including dough, pepperoni, vegetables and sauce.

Maybe the pizza turned out not very similar to the earthly one, but Paolo Nespoli, after trying it, said that it was "unexpectedly delicious."Keywords: Astronauts | Gravity | Weightlessness | Pizza
