100 liters of beer was successfully produced on the ISS International Space Station. Astronauts can think about getting drunk on the ISS in the near future.
This is the result of a research collaboration between the Russian Academy of Sciences and Okayama University, Japan, along with the famous Sapporo brewery. "Beer is fermented from barley grown on the ISS station five months ago," Sapporo representative Junichi Ichikawa.
Barley is grown on ISS.
Astronaut Boris Morukov, who once set a record of living on a space station, said: In this project, besides barley, they also experimented with beans and lettuce.
Morukov revealed that even potatoes can be grown in future projects. "Of course to supplement food, not to cook vodka," Morukov said with a laugh.
In principle, the astronauts' menu does not have alcoholic drinks. But according to Okayama University Professor Manabu Sugimoto, this could change because in the future astronauts have to make long trips all year long to Mars.
