Mmmm, Zero Gravity Kimchi

A Bold Taste Goes Where It Has Never Gone Before:

Now kimchi is set to conquer the final frontier: space.

When South Korea’s first astronaut, Ko San, blasts off April 8 aboard a Russian spaceship bound for the International Space Station, the beloved national dish will be on board.

Three top government research institutes spent millions of dollars and several years perfecting a version of kimchi that would not turn dangerous when exposed to cosmic rays or other forms of radiation and would not put off non-Korean astronauts with its pungency.

Just how good could kimchi that “would not put off non-Korean astronauts with its pungency” be? 😉

One thought on “Mmmm, Zero Gravity Kimchi”

  1. Gimchee is wonderful. Any non-Korean astronaut who doesn’t like – no! love – the pungency of Gimchee should step through the closest airlock immediately! They are a disgrace to the astronaut profession!
