We've got just enough time to run up to the mess hall and grab a good meal before we check the ship." "That's for me," said Astro. "I've been eating those concentrates so long my stomach thinks I've turned into a test tube." Astro referred to the food taken along on space missions. It was dehydrated and packed in plastic containers to save weight and space.
But can you imagine the men in the Platform, floating among the stars, living on dehydrated food and stuffing themselves hungrily with pumpkins because that is the only fresh food they have?" Joe saw the irony. "They're thinking of mechanical efficiency," said Sally indignantly.
Savory bacon, a great cured ham of a caribou, dehydrated vegetables and cans of marmalade and jam: all these went into the big saddle-bags for the journey. He was fully aware that the punishing days' ride could never be endured on half-rations. Camp equipment, rifles, shells and a linen tent made up the outfit. He encountered real difficulty when he tried to hire a man to act as cook.
She beheld the smooth cascade of the rice as Bill poured it into the boiling water, her own hand opened a can of dehydrated vegetables that was to give flavor to the dish. She gave no particular thought to the fact that the hour was revealing her not as an exquisite creature of a higher plane, but simply a human animal with an empty stomach. If the thought did come to her she didn't care.
The potatoes will be found to have lost none of their nutritive value." Even if you haven't any acres yet, there isn't any law against drying in the city. Either in sales or in saving it will help to pay for the country place later and the country place can be made to pay it back again. Call your product say "Landers' Desiccated Beans" or "Glory's Dehydrated Corn."
In another moment he was at his pack, opening it, and tossing things to right and left on the white sand, and the girl watched him, her eyes very bright with anticipation. "Coffee, bacon, bannock, and potatoes," he said, making a quick inventory of his small stock of provisions. "Potatoes!" cried the girl. "Yes dehydrated. See? It looks like rice.
Dehydrated food, flasks of oxygen and water, and blastoff drums to contain our gear, are all relatively simple. Worst, of course, is the blastoff price, from one of the spaceports. Who could be rich enough to have a ground-to-orbit nuclear rocket of his own? Fifteen hundred bucks a subsidized rate at that just to lift a man and a thousand pounds of equipment into orbit.
One of the functions of the moisture-reclaimers was a rough joke, or a squeamishness. A man's kidneys and bowels functioned, and precious water molecules couldn't be wasted, here in the dehydrated emptiness. But what difference did it really make, after the sanitary distillation of a reclaimer? Accept, adjust...
You know about this Premix Company, don't you?" "Vaguely. They manufacture ready-mixed pancake flour, and ready-mixed ice-cream and pudding powders, and this dehydrated vegetable soup pour on hot water, stir, and serve don't they? My colored boy, Buck, got some of the soup, once, for an experiment. We unanimously voted not to try it again."
Freight-rockets were on the way moonward now, whose cargoes of supplies for a space-journey Cochrane was accepting only when a bonus in money was paid for the right to brag about it. So-and-so's oxygen paid for the privilege of supplying air-reserves. What's-his-name's dehydrated vegetables were accepted on similar terms, with whoosit's instant coffee and somebody else's noodle soup in bags.
