Help the hungry in this holiday season!
I just received the following from a friend. Please help the less
fortunate. Mike Simmons Please donate any unused cans of food to help feed the hungry astronauts and cosmonauts. (See below). Unopened cans of string beans, dried meat, caviar, spam, and chicken noodle soup are particularly needed. Vacuum packed foods are preferred since they are less likely to explode in low G transport. Please send your canned food donations to www.feedtheastronauts.org. REFERENCE: http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/1....ap/index.html Space station crew forced to cut calories Russian supply capsule due December 23 Thursday, December 9, 2004 Posted: 4:56 PM EST (2156 GMT) CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) -- Food is running so low aboard the international space station that flight controllers have instructed the two crewmen to cut back on calories... |

It's been all over the news. They'll be fine if/when the supply ship arrives (on Christmas Day no less) but if it doesn't they're going to have to come back. I suppose the Russian will do his own shopping and then head back to the station. The American will probably just order a couple hundred pizzas to go. Mike Simmons |

Well I have no food but a lot of old unused AP rocket motors.
I guess we could cluster them and use them to boost the grub into orbit. Matthew Ota Mike Simmons wrote: I just received the following from a friend. Please help the less fortunate.

Ten minute intermission while I run to personal fallout shelter Okay, I have three cases of chicken soup and two cases of Hormel Spam. Could you be a prince and let me know where to ship it to? Well, see, that's a bit of a problem since the address keeps changing. Check the web site for a drop-off location near you. Mike Simmons |

I hate to be a bother but my browser is in the shop for repairs - fed it some bad java. Any chance you could check it for me and get a NY local drop-off site? NJ, CT or OH would also be great. I'll do the best I can. That's a promise. Mike Simmons |

Could you take it to the Empire State Building and give it a good heave when they come by? Do a quick refreshing from your old celestial mechanics text. Could you check the website soon and report back? I found a case of Sterno and three cases of corned beef hash, too. No caviar? The cosmonaut will be suffering. I asked my Iranian friends to hop over the mountains to the Caspian Sea and get some for him. They'd like to help but they don't have a good delivery method right now.
