Moon menu: Here's what the Artemis 2 astronauts will eat during their historic mission (video)

The Artemis 2 astronauts have to be prepared to use a little water and a lot of creativity to prepare their moon foods in a small spacecraft.

The Artemis 2 crew will demonstrate just that when they launch on their historic moon mission no earlier than April 1. The four astronauts — NASA's Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, along with the Canadian Space Agency's Jeremy Hansen — will bring along food that can be stored safely for weeks in their Orion spacecraft, then prepared quickly.

While the moon crew has a packed schedule testing Orion and performing lunar observations, meal time will be allocated for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Aside from the food, the astronauts can have up to "two flavored beverages" a day, which could include coffee for the ones used to a caffeine fix.
