Everyone’s favourite Canadian astronaut, Chris Hadfield, shows us his “kitchen” in space and prepares a tasty 0-G floating treat.

Have you ever wondered how they make lunch in space? We’ve always wondered how the lads on the ISS make a nice sambo to tide them over until dinner. Well the Canadian astronaut, Chris Hadfield, is here to show us how.

According to the man himself, bread isn’t used to make space sandwiches because they leave crumbs floating about, so instead, they use tortillas. It’s a simple solution for lunchtime in space.

At least he doesn’t have to down protein pills like Bowie’s Major Tom…

Check out the stunning picture of Dublin (along with some legible gaeilge) that Chris recently tweeted from space over here.
