I have a lot of names from friends, Space Maggie.

I have a friend who calls me Astro Gastronomer, Space Witch.

How did you come to do what you do?

Yeah.

Yeah, why do you do what you do?

I'm not sure how many people are aspiring space food experts, but there's always a lot of questions.

I thought that was so cool.

I was just so excited that The Martian was actually interviewing space food experts and bringing research into their process.

So it felt like, okay, there's a lot of directions.

Sometimes I also don't know where to begin, but it's true.

For me, it fits, but it also feels like a little bit of a jump.

I think...

Space is changing so much, the field of space.

So it's not just scientists, engineers, technologists, but there's a lot of different disciplines who are contributing.

My goal in starting this research endeavor was not actually to get a job, although that's where I landed with space food.

I was approaching it very much with the designers or industrial designers perspective.
