The use of Kimchi as a method of cultural outreach and cultural expression is really interesting (and ofc kimchi is delicious). My favorite detail is that South Korea funded development of a version of Kimchi that was appropriate for space[1].
P.s. another very Korean detail in that story is that Yi So-yeon, the first Korean astronaut, later left the program to pursue an MBA.
