Kimchi in space
If course, it’s not really kimchi, because it doesn’t have any active cultures. Real kimchi is near and dear to my heart, at least until it’s a few months old. 
Reading deep into the article, I see that they kill it with radiation. So they pack a tuna can with kimchi, seal it, and then irradiate it. They also did something to tone down the smell a bit. All this, it seems, cost them millions of dollars in R&D if we are to believe the press.
It’s odd that the can has both Korean and English writing on it but no Russian. Ko San, who is South Korea’s first astronaut, is hitching a ride on a Soyuz on his way to the International Space Station.

I probably ought to fix that in the comment form. Here in my blog, email addresses are never shown, and in fact can be totally fake, just like your alias, (just pick a unique one so I we can tell you all apart, your never-shown email ought to be consistent so we can keep someone from impersonating you.)
Your email address is never shared, nor used for any bulk mailing and in fact, the only time I’ve ever used an email address left in the blog is to reply to someone who left a comment that started with “Having no other way to contact you….”
We hate spam too.
(thanks for the comment)
