How much chocolate is too much chocolate? TBH, it is never enough. From kids to adults and even, in this case, astronauts, it is hard to say no to the sweetmeat. Agree? Well, what better day to talk about our love for gooey sweet treats than World Chocolate Day? It was observed on July 7. And, we are happy to report that astronauts aboard the International Space Station also made sure to enjoy a few delectable chocolate recipes to mark the occasion. The European Space Agency (ESA) on Instagram shared a few glimpses of astronauts indulging in chocolate delights amid microgravity.
Sharing pictures and videos, ESA wrote, ”Astronauts aboard the ISS indulge in chocolate delights just like we do on Earth. Imagine floating in microgravity while enjoying: Delectable chocolate crepes using flour tortillas. The silky chocolate mousse that’s part of a scientific experiment. Tasty chocolate treats that make every bite a cosmic adventure.”
