NASA Sells Space Food, Shuttle Tiles To Schools

iamrmani writes with word that NASA "is offering processed space shuttle tiles and astronaut food to eligible schools and universities to preserve history. The lightweight space shuttle tiles protected the shuttles from extreme temperatures when the orbiters re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, while space food was precooked such that refrigeration is not required and is ready to eat or could be prepared simply by adding water or by heating." I wish NASA would finance future missions by selling interestingly packaged astronaut foods in general -- other than the ice cream, I've seen it only in museum displays.

    She wouldn't have had to die. But because you faggots didn't like NASA when she was alive, she died. Now she is selling off her food to pay for global cliamate change researchers.
