HOUSTON, TX – NASA officials have unveiled the menu for the Artemis II lunar mission, confirming that astronauts will subsist almost entirely on tortillas, a decision experts say is less about space-grade nutrition and more about preparing for a bleak, flour-based future on Earth.

“While we could certainly send up gourmet freeze-dried meals, the real challenge isn’t getting to the moon; it’s surviving the next 50 years here,” stated Dr. Evelyn Reed, head of NASA’s 'Futureproofing Humanity' division. “Learning to make 100 different meals out of a single flatbread is a critical skill set for any post-collapse society. Plus, they don't produce crumbs.”

The four-person crew will reportedly consume thousands of tortillas over their 10-day mission, experimenting with various fillings like rehydrated beef paste, powdered cheese, and 'nutrient-dense algae pucks.' A spokesperson for the mission, who wished to remain anonymous, admitted that early taste tests had been “challenging,” but emphasized the importance of adaptability. “Think of it as extreme culinary resilience training,” they added, wiping a tear from their eye.

Critics argue that the agency is overpreparing for terrestrial disaster scenarios, while others commend the foresight. Regardless, the mission is expected to generate a wealth of data on human tolerance for repetitive, uninspired cuisine, a skill many believe will be invaluable when the global supply chain inevitably collapses.
