It's interesting that the traditional NASA launch morning breakfast is steak and eggs -- apparently protein/fat foods don't cause gas or other GI upset in space, unlike breads, etc. http://www.who2.com/blog/2009/07/t-minus-2-days-and-counting-steak-and-eggs http://www.who2.com/blog/2009/07/t-minus-2-days-and-counting... (although this seems to be less the case now)
(Which is why "steak and eggs at [the place astronauts go before launch]" is the ideal answer to "what do you want your last meal on Earth to be".)
- R_Edward 13y agoEggs don't cause gas? All I'm gonna say to that is that you do NOT want to be within 4 cubicles of my co-worker during the couple hours after he has an omelet for lunch!
- Luc 13y agoNowadays astronauts launch from Russia, where the tradition is a double enema before launch. I don't know what they have for breakfast, but I guess it doesn't matter much!
