Although launching food in space is a necessity, it doesn't mean it has to be boring. The original space menu was bland, odorless and lacked texture, but times have changed and adding some flavor is essential for extended periods astronauts spend in orbit. You can't expect an average meal on the International Space Station to be like a night at the Ritz, but no one's complaining.
The ambiance of orbital dining apparently more than compensates for lackluster meals. But astronauts have a few standby favorites as well as the occasional special treat. Dinners in space have come a long way since the start of the Space Age, but which cosmic gastronomic delights are the best?
