I’m heading to
space to disprove
the rumor about
my hotness.

THEY DID NOT
ALLOW ME TO
GO…TOO
HOT!!! (LOL!!!)
Carotenoid content
Amount of sugar
solution added to
dilute piquancy (ml)
This could provide insights on
providing astronauts more
flavorful meals.
Exposure to microgravity
could also have an effect on
how capsacidoids bind with
pain receptors.
This experiment could lead to
further studies on developing
drugs from chemical
compounds found in chili due
to its effect on our brain.
This could lead to future
studies on the effect of chili in
inhibiting the growth of
bacteria.
