When you are in space, cooking is a whole new ballgame. Food doesnt stay in the pot, and tends to float off. Setting a table is difficult for the same reason.

In 1965, a NASA researcher was accidentally exposed to a near vacuum and his last conscious memories was the water on his tongue beginning to boil. Fortunately, he was saved and we were all taught a valuable safety lesson.

What happens to food when it goes bad? Well, it rots. The enzymes and sugars in food continue to do their thing and take food past the point of being ripe and ready and begin to cause decay. Here are a collection of clips that demonstrate the process of decay.
