The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) continues to amaze people, and this time, the US space agency’s post showing astronauts celebrating a “pizza night” aboard the International Space Station (ISS) has caught the attention of Internet users.
“Scenes from an orbital restaurant,” NASA wrote in the caption, adding: “Here’s a slice of life from the International Space Station (@ISS). As crew members orbit about 250 miles (402 km) above us, they are never too far from some of our favorite traditions here on earth – like pizza night.”
In the photos attached to the Instagram post, we see the ISS crew members, including Denis Matveev, Oleg Artemyev, Sergey Korsakov, Kjell Lindgren, Jessica Watkins and Samantha Cristoforetti, eating pizza and spending some quality time together. One of the crew members named Bob Hines is also seen posing with a personalized pizza. The third image shows NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins smiling as he mounts the topping on his pizza in microgravity.

Since the post was shared, it has caught the attention of internet users. It has accumulated over 414,000 likes and hundreds of comments. “They all look cute,” one user wrote. Another jokingly said, “space pizza is out of this world.” “Time to start a Space Recipe Book,” added the third.
In the caption, NASA shared that ISS crew members will have the option of eating a preferred dish even if they are 250 miles (almost 402 km) above Earth. The space agency’s Johnson Space Center is responsible for providing all possible facilities.
NASA said the food comes from the NASA Johnson Space Center’s Space Food Systems Laboratory, and crew members can choose from more than 200 dishes from the standard menu.
