Odd News

If you belong to these who used as a child to dream about space traveling, but you are also a big gourmet, I have to disappoint you: these two things do not fit together. I have to admit, that I was actually never thinking about spaceships and flying into space, I was rather the one who loves good food. And I still am. But if you are more interested in the space and life of astronauts, rather than food, then the book called “The Astronaut’s Cook book – Tales, Recipes and More” could be something for you. This book is promising unique look into NASA lore, legend, diet information and space food facts. The authors of the book, Charles T. Bourland and G! regory L. Vogt, were working for NASA and have many years of experience in NASA food technology programs. If you want to know what exactly are astronauts eating out there in the space, if you want to try to cook something from their daily meals in your own kitchen or just want to know something about the history of the space program and space food preparation methods, so then get this book! But do not expect typical cook book, as it is not. Charles Bourland, who is a retired long-time director of the NASA space food program, will share lot of funny “space stories” with you and some of them are not suitable to mention during the dinner: “Imagine if you’re sitting tight next to your buddy in a capsule, and you’re going to the bathroom while he’s trying to eat breakfast, and the odor then lingers in there for hours afterwards.” If you want to know, how this will going to continue, and with no doubt have some extraordinary fun, I would ! recommend you this book. After all, maybe one day we all will ! be livin g somewhere out there, who knows?
