if you missed our live coverage of the International Astronautical Congress (aka Giant Space Show) last week, you can find a summary of our dispatches here. things started with a bang on Monday morning, with the European Space Agency’s ATV burning up over the Pacific Ocean as they guided it down to a fiery end after its successful mission. check out the full video here
_our favourite bit, though, had to be the Korean spacefood tasting hosted by the Korean space agency, KARI. moving on from the freeze dried ice cream we all know and love from science museums around the world, Korean astronauts are packing green tea, ginseng, hot sauce and kimchi for their trips into space
_SpaceX were also celebrating their just-launched Falcon 1, the world’s first privately-funded carrier rocket to reach orbit. just before the champagne reception, the company showed an amazing video of the launch from the Marshall Islands; you can see the full 40min version on YouTube here
