NASA\u2019s sinking a chunk of change into 3D printing food\u2014starting with the humble pizza\u2014in a new project aimed at evolving the future of food for both space and back here on Earth. It\u2019s not quite a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Replicator_(Star_Trek)\">replicator<\/a>, but it\u2019s a start.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is that you wouldn\u2019t cook your food in the normal manner; you\u2019d simply print it out from the basic ingredients such as oils, water and carbohydrate powders. The cartridges would have shelf lives of decades apparently, so it\u2019ll be a bit like a new version of canning, I guess. Sounds<em>delicious<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Why is the project kicking off with pizza? Because of the multi-layered nature of the best fast food ever, which<em>should<\/em>be easier for the printer to produce as a first stab. Mind you, it should be able to spit out spaghetti pretty easily too, right?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m thinking this is likely to taste like stale cardboard, but hell, we\u2019ve all had pizza that basically tasted like recycled paper at some point or other. Anyway, it\u2019s the future of food apparently, until we get full-on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Replicator_(Star_Trek)\">replicators<\/a>\u00a0and can simply shout \u201cTea, Earl Grey, Hot\u201d that is.
