Did you know there are some pretty surprising things astronauts can't take with them to space? For starters, bread is a big no-no because the crumbs can float around and mess with the equipment. Fizzy drinks are also out because, without gravity, the bubbles don’t rise—they just mix with the liquid in a weird way. Even certain foods like chips and chocolate bars are off-limits for the same crumbly reason! Plus, personal items like perfume or anything with a strong scent are banned since the smell doesn’t go away in a closed space. It’s wild to think about how different life is up there!
