Floating Food / Creating Knowledge

To survive in space, people also have to eat in space. In preparation for the first American space station Skylab in 1971, NASA food experts therefore tested food systems on parabolic flights. Cluster member Alwin Cubasch has delved into the NASA archive material and applied concepts from the history of science to the fields of historical food science and the history of nutritional science. His findings can now be read in a post on the »History of Knowledge« blog of the German Historical Institute in Washington, DC.
