...NASA awarded 18 teams a total of $450,000 for their concepts for innovative food production technology that produces safe, acceptable, palatable, nutritious food products that are stable and high quality, while minimizing necessary resource inputs...10 international teams for their winning submissions. NASA’s supporting partner of the challenge, the Methuselah Foundation, sponsored two $25,000 awards to international teams...
NASA now invites both new and existing teams to enter Phase 2, which will require teams to build and demonstrate prototypes of their designs and produce food for judging. Interested participants from the United States can compete in Phase 2 for part of a prize purse up to $1 million.
The Deep Space Food Challenge asks competitors to create a food production technology, system, or approach that could potentially be integrated into a complete food system to sustain a crew of four on a three-year deep space mission. Everything needed to store, prepare and deliver food to the crew, including production, processing, transport, consumption, and disposal of waste should be considered. Proposed technologies such as plant growth systems, manufactured food products, and ready-to-eat solutions combined could provide the future crews with a variety of options that would provide the needed daily nutrition.
In Phase 1, NASA’s judges grouped U.S. submissions based on the food they envisioned producing. Among the designs were a variety of systems that ranged from complex to very simple. Teams proposed technologies to produce ready-to-eat foods such as bread, as well as dehydrated powders that could be processed into food products. Other technologies involved cultivated plants and fungi or engineered food such as cultured meat cells, all of which could be grown or produced by the crew on deep space missions. Details about the winning submissions and teams can be found on the challenge website.

Elon Musk will deliver ahead of schedule and below budget.

Also, I thought Star Trek solved this??
TANG!
That’d take a lot of pb&j.
Get out the popcorn……
I just watched a video that said beef liver is the most nutritionally concentrated food.
So lots of beef liver, onions and gravy.
You welcome space people.
Powdered freeze dried. Powdered to to save space. Shelf life 20+ years and freeze dried retains minerals, vitamins, and flavors very well. And you can even do icecream.
“Soylent Green”
That is the perfect solution.
Any crew members not needed for the return voyage (or who die due to in-flight “issues”) are fed to the soylent green machine.
These future missions have Donner Party written all over them.

Elon’s biggest problem right now is NASA.
He needs to fully decouple from them—now.
Here is one example:

Captain, why does this food taste like poop?
The ‘moon’ is just a giant spy satellite from which the various Elites spy on and control every aspect of our lives. Should things get out of hand they will merely leave ‘earth’ take up temporary shelter on their ‘moon’ base and wipeout all human life. After which will clone new and better humans and repopulate the Earth and return to rule again.

Are those psilocybin mushrooms?
Simple: microwave, water, and ramen noodles.
