Beyond Tang: Food in Space

Earlier this year, NPR’s Morning Edition had a story with a behind-the-scenes look at NASA’s space food lab, where scientists fashion non-goo meals for astronauts:

“Beyond Tang: Food in Space” — NASA’s Johnson Space Center invited The Kitchen Sisters to visit its “hidden kitchen.” On the eve of NASA’s scheduled launch of space shuttle Atlantis, The Kitchen Sisters present a brief history of space food.

I came across this story thanks to checking out the NPR Hidden Kitchens podcast, unfortunately not updated since June. Hopefully they’ll have more installments to come in the near future, since I love the idea:

An ongoing series exploring the world of hidden kitchens: street-corner cooking, legendary meals and eating traditions…how communities come together through food.
