Space Ramen

One of the International Space Updates I wrote for DailyTech talked about the expanding food catalog available to astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). As a JAXA astronaut prepares to go to the ISS, a wider assortment of Japanese food would need to be available... including one of my favorite foods... RAMEN!!

But could the space ramen truly be good? After all, the difference between American ramen and Japanese ramen is already astronomical. According to Asahi.com writer Shoko Azuma, the food turned out to be relatively appetizing.

I hope to one day be able to taste some of the Japanese food that is available to astronauts aboard the ISS.

Here are some links that discuss food in space: Space.com article, food for space, history of food in space, one last link.

Cheers!
