Beijing, China – In an unusual extraterrestrial scenario, Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station conducted a lighthearted experiment: a miniature barbecue in space. This symbolic experiment aimed to explore the behavior of food and cooking methods in a zero-gravity environment.
According to Chinese reports, the astronauts used safe, sealed heating devices. The goal was to heat pre-prepared ingredients in a way that mimicked the experience of a ground barbecue. This was done in full compliance with the station’s safety standards.
The Chinese space agency said the experiment was part of a scientific program. This program aims to study the interaction of fats and proteins in space. It also seeks to develop more efficient nutritional technologies for astronauts on long-duration missions.
Footage released by the agency showed amusing moments of the astronauts. They were eating food floating inside the cabin, amid laughter. There were even humorous comments about it being “the first space barbecue in history.”
Observers believe these experiments reflect China’s growing confidence in its space program. It also seeks to transform life in orbit from a purely scientific experiment into a vibrant and innovative reality.
