1) The shuttle never makes it to outer space. It remains in earth orbit.

2) The shuttle never gets more than 1000 miles from earth, far short of a light year.

3) The shuttle does not have heat shields. It has tiles.

4) Are these dinners frozen or what?

Rachel is the girl! Is she back on the market herself? Heard her crazy new husband had some funky fetishes and got caught. Her and the DeLaurentis girl (Is that the name of the other Food chick?) are 2 spicy Italian meatballs. Rachel did look like she was getting slightly plump since her marriage. Now she might get back to that “look at me now world” since she’s apparently taking over the universe. Rachel can cook me dinner anytime and I’ll give her more than a 30 minute dessert!

I’m so heartily SICK or Rachel Ray being everywhere you look! I had to buy saltines the other day and almost didn’t buy them when I saw RR’s photo on the box. Ick. When she first came on food network I enjoyed her show then she became more and more manic. The final kicker came when I tried several of her recipes and had to throw the results in the trash. (I can say without hesitation I’m a pretty decent cook..and have been cooking since I was in grade school.) I just PITY the poor space shuttle crew! They better take some back up emergency rations lol.

Remember, half the meal is presentation and Rachel presents it beautifully!!

Seems you that may have been a user mistake rather than RR. I cook out of several of her books and have not had anything bad yet.

George (georage?)

1) Dictionary.com shows a definition for Outer Space as “space beyond the atmosphere of earth,” or “the region of space immefiately beyond Earth’s atmosphere.” Further searching leads to http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/AndresMok.shtml which shows the shuttle’s altitude between 320 and 390 km. More searching returns http://www.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/teacherscorner/lessons/scale5t8.html which puts the total thickness of the atmosphere at 350km.

Hmm.. picking nits, eh?

2) Artistic license.. Choice of the words “lightyears removed from home” certaily makes for more interesting reading than “a distance aproximately equal to 350 footbal fields from home”.

3) Nits nits everywhere. The entire unit is called a “reusable heat shield” which is COMPOSED of heat-resistant tiles. Perhaps the only error the author is guilty of is using the plural when she should have used the singular.

4) All meals for the space shuttle are FREEZE DRIED, not frozen, given the cost of sending weight up in the shuttle, and water is quite dense, they prefer to recycle their water. Hence, is it is more cost effective to send it up without water, re-hydrate it, eat it, then remove and recycle the water for the next meal. One “meals worth” of water can be used to rehydrate multiple meals, which is a large cost/weight savings.

The question is “Is there no end to Rachael Ray’s mad power grab?”

And my comment is, “Well, I used to have a crush on her when she had only one show, after God (Alton Brown). Now that she has multiple shows, a magazine, and now feeding the astronauts, Im dumping her like last weekends vanilla pudding accidentaly left out under the kitchen table - nasty. Have you even READ her magazine? Can’t find the articles for all the advertising! The recipies are just ads for specific ingredients produced by certain brands.. Money grubbing wench.. Bleah…”

And dem’s mah three cents..

Rachel is definitely suffering from over-marketization. She’s another Oprah phenom, who, if she’s not careful, will go the way of Dr. Phil. Of course she’ll be laughing all the way to the bank. I agree with the previous posters; she’s not a very good cook and a little of her personality goes a long way.

People! Rachael Ray has been cooking on FoodTV LONG before Oprah “discovered” her. I’ve been watching her shows for a long time, have two or three books (love the recipes!!) and think she’s entitled to every dollar she gets. THink she’s on too much? Change the channel.

As for Georage - get a life!

And anyone who think sher food is garbage can worthy (especially someone who claims to be a cook) is obviously getting something wrong. My wife and I have made dozens of her recipes and have never been dissatisfied.

I love RR. I wonder how she keeps from blowing up from all those high calorie meals she makes, though.

PLEASE tell me Rachael Ray herself will be going up on the shuttle? I am so sick and tired of her. Someone buy the woman a one way ticket and take her to the shuttle pad pronto!

I used to love to watch Rachael Ray on the food network and even watched her show when it first started . NO More!! I am so sick of seeing her everytime I turn on the TV or go to the supermarket. Does she have to be everywhere all the time!! I for one will not watch her on the food network anymore. I just think enough exposure is enough.
