Astronaut Spills Wasabi in Space
This is another “unfortuantley this is exactly what it sounds like” story.
The AP is reporting that astronaut Sunita Williams spilled wasabi while trying to make ‘a pretend sushi meal with a bag-packaged salmon.’ I guess this means she was trying to take salmon and put some wasabi on it, along with rice.
In any case, the wasabi spilled, which is bad news in space because everything, of course, just floats around.
Now clearly I’m all for ethnic cuisine, but this girl Sunita seems like that one roomate who always stinks up the house with her ‘authentic’ dishes. Kind of like when I eat natto and leave the fermemted beans to dry and cake up in dishes in the sink.
Imagine being in a small space station, where air is clearly a short commodity, and this indian girl starts preparing punjabi kadhi, yougurt and curry, mutter paneer, etc. I don’t know what those dishes are specifically, but generally I know they are stinky.
