Recipes: NASA-approved out-of-this-world bean recipe

"When NASA's Launch Control at the Kennedy Space Center gets ready to send something into space, managers break out the... beans?

The tradition dates back to the first shuttle mission. As the crew was preparing for launch, staffers brought in covered dishes to share during the long hours of work. For the historic first launch on April 12, 1981, NASA test director Norm Carlson brought in 2 gallons of beans in a Crock Pot, and some corn bread. That morning, Columbia went up, and the elated and famished launch crew devoured the beans and bread."
