pizza in space. . .

long-time reader, groovy yoga teacher, and pure rock star (and here!) paula carino clearly remembers that i'm big a fan of space. outer space. space-is-paradise. and not just in the sun ra sense either. thus she forwarded to me a little item destined to warm my heart:

a group of food science and human nutrition students created ez crust, which may someday allow astronauts to enjoy pizza in space.

yup, this brainchild of iowa state college students shows that someone at nasa is thinking practically. what's great about this crust is that it's made from okara, a soybean product. and it turns out soybeans can apparently be grown in space. what's bad about this crust is that it's made of okara, a soybean product. if you know what i mean. . .still, the soy fans at soy daily seem thrilled.

but the whole idea is just really cool. . .it took 2 years of study to develop this, um, delicious stuff.
