10. Will we use the same knife, fork, and spoon utensils as on Earth, or will we mostly just eat with our fingers? (NP) (A K2S Question)

The best utensil to use in space is a fork. Liquids won't stay in a spoon any more than they'll stay in a cup or bowl, so we drink them through straws. Knives require a cutting surface like a plate or table, neither of which we have room to store, or a place to clean. So we eat everything solid with a fork, or with our hands, straight from the packet!
