When it comes to sitting down for a meal, what challenges do you think an astronaut might face that we don't? Provide solutions to these challenges.​

This is because astronauts can't sprinkle salt and pepper on their food in space. The salt and pepper would simply float away. There is a danger they could clog air vents, contaminate equipment or get stuck in an astronaut's eyes, mouth or nose. Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Explanation:

In a child with sore throat, otherwise known as pharyngitis, the most common etiologic agent that causes pharyngitis is adenoviruses. Although, with a high grade fever and a red, inflamed throat, a bacterial etiology can be considered and the most common bacterial agent in pharyngitis is Streptococcus pyogenes. There are suppurative and non-suppurative complications following an untreated streptococcal infection. Suppurative complications (which involves pus) includes tonsillar abscess or collection of pus within the tonsils, otitis media or the infection of the middle compartment of the ear canal, sinusitis, etc. The non-suppurative complications are more serious than suppurative complications. There are two non-suppurative complications, (1) acute rheumatic fever which can progress to rheumatic heart disease which affects the valves of the heart and can ultimately lead to heart failure, and (2) acute glomerulonephritis which involves streptococcal antibodies attacking the glomerular basement membrane in the kidneys and this will present as oliguria (decreased urine production), hypertension (from fluid overload), and hematuria (blood in the urine).
