Last week, our very own Robyn Gatens, director of the @Space_Station and acting director of the Commercial Spaceflight Division, kicked off the @DeepSpaceFood Challenge in Ohio with a dynamic discussion on the food industry and deep space mission with Chef @TylerFlorence. Robyn also gave the keynote address, where she recognized the innovative solutions these finalists developed to advance our food systems for long-duration, deep space missions. Congratulations to this year’s winner of the $750,000 grand prize: Interstellar Lab of Merritt Island, Florida! Learn more: nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-a…
