What would you eat and drink in space?

In space most of the food is similar to what we eat here on earth. There are only a few things we can’t bring, such as bread because of the crumbs. On the mission we will be on a schedule and eat similarly to here [on Earth]. There are still snacks and drinks, whatever you want.

Where would you sleep, and how?

Either in sleeping bags or small rooms with a sleeping bag on a wall. However, there are arm holes.

How many items of clothing will you take for such a long trip? Can you wash clothes in space? Do you wear the same spacesuit?

Usually in space most of the clothes are just thrown away. However for the Mars mission there will need to be a bit more reusability – for example, spacesuits are reused.

Working with Horizn Studios has been really exciting, as we’re looking at the future of space tourism! It’s fascinating to think that one day we’ll be holidaying in space. As innovation makes this dream a reality, we’re looking towards the practicalities like packing for such a venture. I’ve worked with them to explore the luggage we might need, and the useful features it needs to have.
