The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is getting ready for its next mission Gaganyaan which is related to sending 3 astronauts in the space for a period of 7 days.
Food in undoubtedly one of the important concerns of this mission as the astronauts will need to satiate their hunger even in the space and for this purpose, Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), Mysore, which comes under the wings of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed a menu of food items which the astronauts can enjoy during their stay in space.
For the Indian astronauts scheduled to go into Space in Mission Gaganyan, food items including Egg rolls, Veg rolls, Idli, Moong dal halwa and Veg pulav have been prepared by the Defence Food Research Laboratory, Mysore. Food heaters would also be provided to them. pic.twitter.com/gDgt9BJpb2

The menu includes veg roll, veg pulao, egg roll, upma, idli and sambhar and the laboratory will also be providing for food heaters, cutlery and disposable bags along with special anti-gravity liquid containers which will enable the astronauts to drink water and juices.
Twitterati got into action after seeing such menu and started having fun by means of hilarious tweets. However, there was a user who wanted to know from the food delivery app Swiggy whether they are going to deliver over there and we have to admit that the response given by Swiggy was quite classy.
The user tweeted, “@SwiggyCares will you deliver it there?”
@SwiggyCares will you deliver it there?

In response, Swiggy posted a GIF of a rocket with the caption that read, “We have already started…”.
We have already started…

It is quite clear that the person who handles Twitter account of Swiggy has a pretty good sense of humour. What do you say?
