Kimchi in Space

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the use-a-pencil dept.

rtknox00 writes "For astronauts spending months in space, the smallest touch of home can make a big difference. So when South Korea's first astronaut Ko San boards the International Space Station this April he'll be bringing along a hefty supply of kimchi, the national dish of his native country. While bringing a cherished food on a long journey might seem like a simple act, taking kimchi into space required millions of dollars in research and years of work." Science may never get Thorramatur in orbit.

    You're not funny.

    No, seriously, I'm not trolling you, you're just not funny.

    NO NO NO, don't think of some stupid reply, YOU ARE NOT FUNNY. It's not up for debate, you aren't funny, end of discussion.

    I'm sure you're a bright guy, so stick to posting information and not joke, because YOU ARE NOT FUNNY.

    If someone told you otherwise, they're wrong.

    Better than the smell burritos make AFTER they have been eaten.... I would hate to be aboard the first ship that stows away something from burrito king.... There ain't gunna be no damn Mexicans in space. Not unless you stick a booster on a tricked out Impala and tell them the Martians are looking for landscapers. Then - and only then - will Mexicans ever go to space.

    What I've found works well, when I introduce folks to Korean food, is to start with good old Korean BBQ, like bulgogi and kalbi.
