[=http://www.nasm.si.edu/exhibitions/attm/a11.jo.es.1.html]A history of food - in - spaaaaaaaace!  :laugh:

*Great little web site including pics of astrofood (Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum). 

Germicide info:  "After the food has been eaten, a small tablet is inserted into the package to kill bacterial growth (and prevent the development of gases...)"  Mmmmmm, that's an appetite-stimulating thought right there! 

Geez, I just know I'd have all sorts of crazy cravings of unavailable foods if I were locked up in a capsule for a week or so.

P.S.:  Site also includes "Clothing & Accessories," etc.; click on "Back" and "Next" beneath pics.
