Overview
Project Babel encourages people all over the world to design space food recipes for astronauts. It provides the public with novelty, challenges the monotony and isolation in long-term space missions, and eases the food technicians’ workload to come up with new menus. It explores how food can satisfy the high levels of needs and generate a sense of global citizenship.
Among the routines above,
meals have the most potential to fit those needs.
What can be the key to boost higher-level of well-being?
Scientists are already getting down to solve the basic needs. Pre-testing, monitors, compression cuffs, medicines and compulsory exercises are keys to better physical conditions. So I mainly focus on the high-level of needs, here is a model of the hierarchy of needs in space.
