It reminds them of grandma or whatever.
And so if you can figure out the right kind of smell to put in the restaurant, you know, at the right time.
I worked with a fragrance designer in Los Angeles to help us figure out the smells.
I mean, we spent six months doing test dinners, just trying to figure out...
You know, what smells would work?
Does it come before the dish, during the dish, after the dish?
You know, is it complementary to it or is it the same smell?
You can really kind of play tricks on people and accentuate things.
And one of the things I had talked to NASA about was, you know, you could send up little scent packets that the astronauts would break and, you know, quickly kind of smell it, give them all of the flavor of the dish without adding flavor.
you know, a lot of weight because you're basically sending up air.
And that would really change the dynamics of the food because I think Clay had told me before, you know, the order of importance, you know, when you're in space is kind of like air, water, and then something tasty to eat, right?
Yeah, so that's a really interesting question.
So one of the things that we've been able to do and kind of create that's a huge hit here on Earth and I think would be really fun in space is –
We've developed sort of encapsulation technologies where, like, we serve a bowl of French onion soup that's in a little bonbon, that's in a little sphere.
And you pop it in your mouth, and when you break it, you get the entire French onion soup experience in, like, one bite.
So the encapsulating shell is made from a series of fats that simulates the cheese.
And so we can put kind of a cheese taste.
And so you get that.
But the inside, when it explodes, is all the flavor of a French onion soup.
I would design a solar system of spheres that were a complete dinner, but would be able to float in space, right?
