How can you eat and drink in space without the effects of gravity to keep food on a plate or liquid in a glass? Jeremy Curtis from the UK Space Agency explains some of the challenges astronauts face, how they overcome them on the International Space Station and what this means for the young people of Great Britain who are designing a meal for the British astronaut Tim Peake to eat during his mission. This is the seventh video from our Great British Space Dinner competition in which children between the ages of 7 and 14 are invited to design a British-inspired, balanced and exciting meal for British ESA astronaut Tim Peake to eat during his 6 month mission to the International Space Station (ISS) next year. The winning entrants will be invited to develop their ideas further with celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal, and these ideas will be turned into real space food that will be launched to the ISS. The competition is accompanied by a set of education resources to support learning, using the context of space to explain nutrition and the importance of good diet. Full details of the competition, including the entry form and rules are available at https://www.gov.uk/government/news/the-great-british-space-dinner
