Michele Pershonok is in charge of the dietary program of the Nasa and tries to explain the phenomenon of impoverishment of the sense of taste for astronauts that she called the "Charlie Brown's stage" refering to the popular hero cartoon, Snoopy.

"We called that the Charlie Brown stage because the astronauts's face become very round in microgravity. Round because they retain a part of the fluids in their heads, they have the permanent fealing to have a cold, to be congested or to have lost the olfactory sense".
