There is a teambuilding game called NASA Game. This game emphasizes the importance of team effort. In that game, a group of six people are stranded on the moon and they have to reach the mother ship. They have about 15 articles among them, and the object of the game is to prioritize the objects. Among the list of items are processed food, 5 gallons of water and pet milk.
Can people in space suits eat or drink water while moonwalking?
The astronauts have a drink bag filled with water in their space suits so they can drink when they are in space (I have read on the internet that the bag can contain up to 32oz. of water). Since the astronauts do not wear space suits for more than a few hours at a time, I don't think they are designed to allow them to eat.
