A South Korean institute developed a special bacterium-free kimchi beside a range of other Korean food for space.

On the ground station in Bajkonoer (kazachstan) it has been announced that Yi So-yeon will give a party on-board of the ISS to let her space colleagues taste the Korean high tech cuisine. The time of substitutes such as strange space food out of cans or tubes is history.
