A special kind of kimchi has been cleared for a space mission this year.
The bacteria-free kimchi will blast off along with Korea's first astronaut. Top Korean scientists developed the kimchi. It was approved by Russian space authorities.
Instant noodles and cinnamon tea have also been approved for the mission due in April. The foods were all developed by the state-run food research body.

Kimchi usually contains bacteria which is healthy. But the bacteria becomes stronger in space and can be dangerous.
The state food research body is also developing other Korean foods for space crews.
The South Korean government has selected Ko San as the country's first astronaut. Ko is a 30-year-old computer science engineer. He'll travel into space on a Russian-made Soyuz rocket on April 8.
Ko will fly to the International Space Station. He'll stay there for up to eight days.(STAFF WRITER, WITH AFP)
一種特製的泡菜確定今年將可隨太空任務升空。
這種無菌的泡菜將跟著韓國第一位太空人升空，這種泡菜由韓國頂尖的科學家研發而成，並經俄國太空總署核准。
泡麵和肉桂茶也通過核准，將一同在四月的任務中登上太空，這些食物都是由南韓食品研究所製造。
泡菜中通常含有益菌，但是細菌的毒性在外太空會增強並可能造成危害。
南韓食品研究所也為太空組員研發了其它韓國食品。
南韓政府選了高山（音譯）成為該國首位太空人，高今年三十歲，是一位電腦工程師，他將在四月八日搭乘俄國製「Soyuz號」太空船升空。
高將先搭機飛往國際太空站，最多在那裡待上八天。

Measles is caused by a highly contagious virus that is airborne and spreads easily when an infected person breathes, sneezes or coughs. It is preventable through vaccines, and was considered eliminated from the US since 2000. In the US,
Imagine standing in a lush forest, surrounded by the songs of birds and the rustling of leaves, with the earthy scent of soil and trees filling the air. This is the essence of forest bathing, a natural experience that brings peace to both body and mind.
