Eager to right this dastardly wrong, NASA are on the lookout for intergalactic chefs.

Farking stupid reporters with no clue of what they're talking about. It's only intergalactic if you're traveling between galaxies.

The word they want is interplanetary.

That is all.

It's too late, NASA. Isaac Hayes is dead.

Why is NASA hiring people to go into space when there is no manned space program?

you'd think they'd just hire several people who could fill that role along with their main duties

Do you know how long it's going to take some of the greatest chefs to get in shape to fit into a space suit?

The place has good food, but no atmosphere.

Dear Mars Chefs:

Be sure to blow all the space dust off your cookbooks before attempting any martian cuisine.

Mars Needs Chefs couldn't be as bad as Mars Needs Moms.

/Sounds like the premise for a Food Network show.

m1ke: Why is NASA hiring people to go into space when there is no manned space program?

Pfft. The real reason the retired the shuttles with no replacement is that they're using a capture alien space craft that crashed at Roswell. They just don't want us to know yet that we can fly it to Mars and back in under a week.

AAaarrgghhh! Why the feck is there fecking red dust all over my fecking creme brulees, ya smelly ugly coont!

///Gordon Ramsay might like a visit to Mars, I'm sure

What chef would you bring then?

Nasa and Food Network could do a contest show

couldn't be worst then that fat chef show they're airing now

or any of the foodnetwork shows that have been released this quarter

BAM ! Let's kick it up a notch...

I thought they already had cooking taken care of on Mars. That's what I learned from the To Serve Man episode of the Twilight Zone.

Winning applicant should know several ways to prepare long pig.

I'm so tired of a crappy science reporting. Beyond the "intergalactic" comment above (good catch), picturing astronauts ice cream shows that the only understanding that the reporter has of the subject was gained in the gift shop of a science museum.



Astronaut ice cream only flew in space once (Apollo 7), was nothing like what is sold in those gift shops, and will probably never fly again. It's too crumbly which is not a good thing in microgravity. Plus the astronauts hated it. Tasted like wallpaper paste.

While readers need not expect reporters to be experts, they should at least be competent.

Yeah I got that song stuck in my head after submitting my comment too.

FTFA: four-month simulation in Hawaii

OK, not to play devil's advocate here... oh fark it, that's pretty much exactly what I'm doing:

NASA just had it's budget get torn a new one, again. Why the fark are they spending four months of time, effort, resources and money on something like designing meals for a hypothetical space flight?

You know how you feed astronauts on a trip to mars?

1. You set up some form of hydroponics that can recycle waste materials (including literal waste) into a diet that provides complete nutrition.
2. You tell astronauts that they will farking eat this and shut the fark up about how it tastes, or how much they miss White Castle, because there's a planet full of people willing to take their place.

Simple.

Agrees.

What's the delta-V on getting the Barefoot Contessa, Paula Deen, and Guy Fieri to Mars?
