That's one Spielbergianly back lit photo -- very Essence of the Right Stuff. It's like a portrait and recruitment poster in one.

Perfecting smoked salmon for astronauts brings us one step closer to developing zero-G salmon lox, which is brined but not smoked or cooked, which takes us one step closer to astronauts having bagel with a schmear. Probably not an everything bagel, though.

There's a later picture in the article with Ed Dwight and Leland Melvin. You may remember Melvin from the greatest astronaut portrait photo of all time.

Those maple cookies are freaking delicious.
