tytso (Theodore Y. Ts'o):
"Have you ever noticed that the food on cruise ships is
exquisite, quite worth the otherwise absurd cost of the cruise? And
you may have noticed that surfside seafood restaurants serve the best,
the freshest seafood available. Now, when you get into inland cities,
food in general isn't as good, which is why many city-raised people
smother everything in ketchup. Airplane food is little better than
dinner-time decoration, certainly not the sort of fare one would want
to eat every day. The food served on NASA spaceflights, though vastly
improved over the diarrhea-like paste served in the early days of
spaceflight, is still atrocious.
"'Sure,' you're saying. 'But what is she getting at?'
"Only this: the farther one gets from Earth's oceans, the less
palatable the food becomes. SETI is a waste of taxpayer's money
because on other planets, a minimum of four light-years away from the
Earth's oceans, the food would be so disgustingly inedible that native
life would never have survived."
