This was a gift for someone who has everything astronaut related. But he did not have this and was thrilled.

Got this for my husband, who finds astronauts (in particular the author) fascinating.

While writing a "thinkbook" on man's food in perspective of future development, it was amusing to realize that it finally will be food gardening that helps green man to survive between the stars. - Gunter C. Vieten, The Hague

Just received my copy of The Astronaut's Cookbook and my husband and I have read it to each other and had some great laughs at the tales of astronauts past. Recipes are great and the insider knowledge of the program is wonderful. This is a must read for anyone interested in the space program from Apollo to ISS.As a former astronaut on STS-40 the book rings true from beginning to end. George and I think it is a unique and insightful.Millie-Hughes-Fulford, Ph.D.STS-40

This is a really fun nostolgic cookbook. I grew up around the space program and had heard loads of funny stories about astronauts trying to catch their food and even sort of remember a video about it. Anyway, I love cookbooks and I collect them. This one has been my favorite to read. Not because of the recipes-although some are really interesting-but because of the stories. This is a good book to share with your kids that like fun space facts. Sometimes I worry that the wonders of space that kids used to feel are being replaced by video games...Maybe this will help reclain some of the awe.

Both arrived as described and on time.

Skall läsa boken för en senare artikel och har bara hunnit att ögna igenom den

Ce livre n'est pas tant intéressant pour les recettes comme pour les nombreuses anecdotes qu'il renferme : pourquoi une poivrière normale n'est pas une bonne idée dans l'espace ? Pourquoi on préfère des tortillas au pain ? Un livre très intéressant pour les mordus du spatial ayant un penchant cuisine !
