Wasabi a Threat to Science

March 3, 2007 on 11:49 pm | In Food | | Email This Post

NASA has listed Wasabi as one of the major threats to the International Space Station.

If you have ever eaten Wasabi a little bit too fast, you are familiar with the sense shocking destructive power of this innocent looking plant.

As NASA explains, when combined with weightlessness, rouge wasabi particles could get into astronauts eyes (OUCH), and muck up air ducts.

This is not a joke.

I for one, plan to eat as much Wasabi as I can while I’m still here on earth.

    So no wasabi for our space noodles, eh? Alas.

    Have fun in Tokyo tomorrow!

    Maybe they should have put the wasabi into syringes instead of normal tubes. This improves the portioning and doesn’t create airbubbles inside the tube.

    Is this for real wasabi, the horse radish imitator, or both? :)

    Only NASA can know for sure.
