US Navy test pilot and NASA astronaut Matthew Dominic is busy having fun in zero gravity. The astronauts departed for the International Space Station (ISS) on March 3, 2024 and are serving as flight engineers in the orbiting laboratory. While aboard the ISS, astronauts have developed an interesting way of eating food, especially ketchup. Dominic posted a unique way of eating ketchup on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle. In the caption, he wrote, āThis is for all the ketchup lovers. Everyone I share it with thinks itās amazing or gross. Nothing in between. Plus, thereās some interesting science stuff happening too.ā Areā¦ā
In the clip, we see the astronaut shaking a bottle of thick tomato ketchup. After this he opens the lid and places the bottle at a short distance from his mouth. What happens next will blow your mind. The ketchup gets into the astronautās mouth and forms a line on his tongue. Then he pulls it inside his mouth in one go.
