Enjoying a Double Latte in Outer Space: A New Era for Astronauts

When I was younger, the idea of outer space was often seen as the domain of enthusiasts. Genuine interest in space travel seemed pointless, especially since the moon landing was a distant memory. Those who enjoyed science fiction typically found themselves spending weekends alone, with only reruns of classic shows to entertain them.

Fast forward to today, and we find ourselves in a vibrant era of science fiction cinema, with blockbusters like Guardians of the Galaxy captivating audiences. The Star Trek and Star Wars franchises continue to thrive, and most excitingly, we have the International Space Station (ISS) where astronauts share their experiences with us through social media. It’s a wonderful time to be alive.

In a groundbreaking development, astronauts aboard the ISS can now enjoy a proper cup of espresso. Previously, they had to endure the less-than-ideal instant coffee, which is kept in freeze-dried packets. Since the ISS is an international facility, it isn’t just American astronauts who have been longing for a quality brew. While many Americans are content with coffee from environmentally harmful plastic pods, Europeans, who appreciate a good cup, have certainly missed their beloved café culture during their extended stays in space.

The arrival of the ISSpresso machine has been timely for Italian astronaut Marco Bellini, who is set to return home next month. He’ll be the first to test this espresso machine in the unique conditions of zero gravity. The company behind the machine is still refining its design and working on creating a cup suitable for use in space.

On a related note, former Canadian astronaut Alex Thompson, who once commanded the ISS, has gained fame for sharing stunning photos and conducting experiments in space. His rendition of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” was the first music video filmed in space and has garnered over 25 million views. Thompson is now set to release an album featuring tracks recorded in the ISS, collaborating with various Canadian artists.

Returning to the theme of nerd culture, it’s clear that fascination with space has become socially acceptable again. Marco Bellini, who shares a rank with Star Trek: Voyager’s Captain Janeway, recently posted a photo of himself in a Voyager uniform on social media, with the ISSpresso machine visible in the background. For enthusiasts like me, this is incredibly exciting.
