You have tried hundreds of different dishes, reviewed dozens of exotic recipes, culinary enjoy watching TV tapeworms and yet "something" that you miss.
Solution for you to save Charles T. Bourland and Gregory Vogt new book titled, "The Astronaut's Cookbook." In his book, the duo saved a large number of recipes for lunch, breakfast, dinner and desserts enjoyed by astronauts during a strenuous workout on the Earth and especially while flying in space. Cooking and eating on a daily basis as a routine experience. All of us more or less close at hand, but the universe is changing things at once. Preparing and eating food in weightlessness becomes an art. Unlike the early years of the space era astronauts in space now have a "godly beats" kitchen. Some reviews have described the book as this first-class and a healthy diet cookbook. By e-book can be ordered buya for twenty USD + shipping costs.
Bourland and Vogt submitted several unique recipes, real culinary delights. Some of them bear names like space, Skylab-biscuits with cream, peas space shuttle ..
In space, no conventional kitchen appliances, no hoods, no gravity and no snow-making and immediately delicious with a little spice to the same as it floated away in the weightless environment of space vehicles. Astronaut prepares food for at home will give refreshment to common foods that we prepare, and we can be sure that the meals for the astronauts very well paced. After months of visits people in space have forced the Americans and Russians to carefully prepare flyers that would not be frustrated with food. It is interesting to note that some astronauts had special treatment, according to their explicit request were prepared some recipes to meet just their culinary request.
Authors are themselves working at NASA, so we are talking about in the book and some "tea" adventures in space. At one time the Russian tandem American astronauts remained almost the heavy food reserves because they ate too much. On the other hand is not a rare specialty loan between Russians and Americans. Somewhat jokingly referred to his affairs, when the Americans cross the Russian border (referring to the nationality of the individual modules on the ISS) by spicy foods, on the other hand the Russians often ušičare sandwiches of Americans ...
Therefore there is no reason in their own homes do not try at least some of these valuable recipes. And you can always invite friends or colleagues at lunch astronaut. At the time of culinary media offensive will certainly be a valuable positive gossip in society, and your body balanced as standard feature delicious food is what they have just "gods in the sky."

Ares IX launch from Florida

Vidulini

After nearly three decades with the American raketodroma Cape Canaveral, Florida, has successfully launched a brand new rocket - Ares IX.

A hundred feet tall rocket is worth over 450 million flew on his fateful journey at exactly 16:30 hours CET. Only a few minutes of flight in which are contained in the diligent work and thousands of engineers and financial stake is far bigger than our budget hole of the Earth is literally "disappeared" in the air over the Atlantic.

Ares IX is part of the Constellation program which is intended for the role of a new era of American Astronautics, including piloted missions to the moon and beyond!

The first stage of the experimental Ares IX has been successfully done to raise the height of the missile 40 km over two minutes of flight. Then there was a planned separation of the first and second stage rocket. While the rocket booster to the predicted parameters and with the help of parachute down to the sea surface, where it took rescue boats (later to be re-used), the second part of the rocket was a so-called. "Dumb model".

The authentic size and weight ratio of the second part was a second rocket stage rocket, the spacecraft for astronauts (Orion) and rescue system. Yet it was not just about "cardboard model". Everywhere the spacecraft were placed sensors (seven hundreds!) To obtain data on aerodynamics, rocket engines work, stress, vibration .. and what will all the engineers of the program to take into account in further work on the Constellation.

After separation of rocket module, the second part of the rockets continued to move in an uncontrolled path and falling into the sea broke. All data from the sensors have been successfully collected via a radio receiving station. Module-scale model was not intended for later use and even rescuing the remains, which were finished at the bottom of the ocean.

Constellation Program tolerate criticism by some of the professional population. The successful experimental flight of Ares IX will certainly encourage NASA and its financiers to continue to work on a program that has Americans over the next fifteen years to return to the moon and completely replace the current piloted ships - space shuttles obsolete.

Otherwise, just launch it passed with few delays and the extremely bad weather conditions. Only the night before the launch next to the launcher detected more than 150 lightning damage, which failed to have mounted on the rocket.

The U.S. President Barack Obama is now a difficult task. On one side there is a successful flight of a new generation of missiles on the other, quite argumentative materials that show how to cancel the Constellation program and reorient themselves to the simpler and cheaper and "safer" already known derivatives of known missile systems that could be modified to meet the needs of American Astronautics.
