Nah, you’re just talking out of your ass, look at the size of equipment and the regulations that go into irradiating food and you would see why it’s not feasible in/on the space station.
Also, looks at the list of acceptable foods that can be irradiated for astronauts, ifs also different than what the public has access too.
I’m pointing out it’s far more involved than you think.
Yes they are if they think it’s that simple to irradiate food properly and safely in the space station and it’s “trivial”. If it was, it would be being done already…
Look at the link i added
What does that prove about irradiating in the space station? Have you seen the regulations and equipment that go into it? I really don’t even know what you think that’s proving in this exchange.
If it was simple and trivial, why are they not doing it on the space station? Because it’s not simple… it’s not easy… and it’s just not feasible….
The link shows you that it can be done on any food, and that the only reason why it hasn't be accepted by the public is because of fear about the word.
To your additional objections, do a an image search of the machines and you'll see that the non-miniaturized versions that are made for industrial scale mass production products are like 4x4x2 feet for the actual functional machine part of it
But hey, believe whatever you wanna believe
It can be done on any food, but look at NASAs list for what is acceptable…. Different agencies are involved with different standards.
Just because it’s easy on earth doesn’t correlate to space… this exchange even started in a post of a an article about this exact thing….
You are right people are dumb yeesh.
Edit, read your own links….
That quote doesn't say what you seem to think it says. Anyway, I'm done with this fruitless conversation now. See ya around
It shows the challenges and the unknowns of doing it in space….
It’s to show you it’s not as simple as you are making it out to be…. But of course you’re not going to comprehend that as you’ve already established how stupid some people are.
