South Koreans are now counting the days to their country's historic first astronaut in space, set to launch aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket on 8 April.

The mission is full of landmarks1: it will be the first time a South Korean woman has headed into orbit, and it will also be the first time that "kimchi" - that spicy2, garlicky cabbage dish that epitomizes South Korea - will be served at the zero-gravity dinner table. VOA Seoul Correspondent Kurt Achin headed to the high-tech3 kitchen where kimchi was getting a pre-launch makeover.
