    Would they be able to do that in the space station though?

    Sounds more like it’s irradiated on earth and sent up.

      Just have a window with no radiation shielding in the glass. 😁

      (Jokes aside, I think irradiating food uses radiation specifically in the gamma range, but it’s been a long time since I’ve read up on it).

                Nah, you’re just talking out of your ass, look at the size of equipment and the regulations that go into irradiating food and you would see why it’s not feasible in/on the space station.

                Also, looks at the list of acceptable foods that can be irradiated for astronauts, ifs also different than what the public has access too.

                I’m pointing out it’s far more involved than you think.

                Because the general population is dumb

                Yes they are if they think it’s that simple to irradiate food properly and safely in the space station and it’s “trivial”. If it was, it would be being done already…

                    What does that prove about irradiating in the space station? Have you seen the regulations and equipment that go into it? I really don’t even know what you think that’s proving in this exchange.

                    If it was simple and trivial, why are they not doing it on the space station? Because it’s not simple… it’s not easy… and it’s just not feasible….
