According to Xinhua News Agency reporter Lin Xiaochun, mankind landed on Mars. This is only a matter of time. But what did Mars eat? It may now seem like pizza. NASA will fund research on space food 3D printers. The first goal is to "print" pizzas.
According to the “Washington Post†report on the 22nd, NASA will invest USD 125,000 in systems and materials research companies headquartered in Texas to study 3D printers capable of producing foods in accordance with “digital recipesâ€.
The idea for this kind of printer is "to mix various powders and produce excellent aroma and taste." The first goal is to choose pizza not only because of its nutrient-rich taste, but also its multi-layered structure, which facilitates “printingâ€. The systems and materials research company hopes to be able to come up with preliminary products by the end of this year.
A spokesman for NASA said that the idea of ​​"printing" food is very interesting, which will reduce the weight of the spacecraft. This technology can also be used to make tools and other items. The existing aerospace food supply system is difficult to support long-term deep space exploration missions such as landing on Mars.
Making foods with a 3D printer is not new. In 2011, Cornell University designed an injection-type 3D printer that can print out biscuits and other foods. Dutch companies have also proposed similar ideas.
