NASA's Next 3D Printing Frontier Is... Pizza?

NASA is funding research into 3D-printed food. Mechanical engineer Anjan Contractor received a $125,000 grant from the agency to build a prototype 3D printer with the aim of automating food creation. It's hoped the system could provide astronauts food during long-distance space travel, but its creator has the loftier aim of solving the increasing food shortages around the world by cutting down on waste. The software for the printer will be open-source, while the hardware is based on the open-source RepRap Mendel 3D printer.
The concept is to use basic "building blocks" of food in repl
Nature

Nature not only looks beautiful, it can appear to imitate other things in nature. These two species of monkey orchids are called the Dracula simia (monkey faces) and Orchis simia (dancing men).
More on dracula simia:
Dracula simia, called also "Monkey Orchid" or "The Monkey-Like Dracula," is an epiphytic orchid in the genus Dracula. The arrangement of column, petals and lip strongly resembles a monkey's face. The plant blooms at any season with a single 5 cm successive flower. Flowers are fragrant with the scent of a ripe orange.
