Space Station Crew Foil Hamburglars!

Post by Chmee »

Couldn't think of a better title ... the Orbital Snack Attack strikes .....
WASHINGTON — The two residents of the International Space Station ran short of food and had to cut back their meals this month thanks in part to unlikely food thieves: the previous station crew.

Leroy Chiao, the American now living on the station, confirmed during a news conference Wednesday what Russian space officials had been saying: The previous crew ate food meant for Chiao and his Russian crewmate, Salizhan Sharipov.

The previous crewmembers, American Michael Fincke and Russian Gennady Padalka, had found that their rations had grown monotonous. So flight controllers let them break into the food supply reserved for Chiao and Sharipov. But Fincke and Padalka did not accurately report how much of it they ate, Chiao said.

LeRoy Chiao? Am I the only one who finds that name mildly hilarious?
