Asteroid may become new wonder-food for astronauts, claims new study

A study published in The International Journal of Astrobiology reveals a groundbreaking concept where astronauts could use asteroids to meet their nutritional needs. While the carbon from asteroids may be transformed into edible biomass, extensive testing is still required to ensure its safety. This new approach offers hope for addressing the challenge of food scarcity during long-duration space missions, though significant hurdles remain before it can be realized.
