You thought
NASA wanted to establish a base on the moon just to further the causes of science and exploration? Hardly. The space race is back, baby, and this time the enemies challenging America’s rightful dominance are —
zut alors! the French.
Pardon? That’s right. Apparently bored of Tang and freeze-dried ice cream,
NASA will soon be sending astronauts to space with meals crafted by Rachael Ray. The cheese-eating surrender monkeys, however, have contributed menus to the International Space Station, via the European Space Agency, by none other than multi-Michelin’d Alain Ducasse.
Grub Street has the details — and, now that the battle is joined, will no doubt imminently have news of France’s
surrender.
