While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted¡ªbeing able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!

About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.

Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype (Ô­ÐÍ) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (ÃæÍÅ) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato ¡°sauce¡±¡ªa mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn¡¯t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed (ÏûºÄ) in 7 seconds.

While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That¡¯s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not. Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!

Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father¡¯s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

¡°Dad will be really mad if he finds out you¡¯ve been playing with his new computer¡± Jason said, ¡°He told us not to touch it.¡±

¡°He won¡¯t find out,¡± Mark said, ¡°I¡¯ll just have a quick look and shut it down.¡±

Mark had been scolded before for touching his father¡¯s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

It was a strange-looking machine ¡ª one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. ¡°It¡¯s an experimental model,¡± his father had explained, so don¡¯t touch it under any circumstances.¡± But his father¡¯s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: ¡°SPACE TRANSPORTER.¡±

¡°Yes!¡± Mark cried excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s a computer game. I knew it! Dad¡¯s only been pretending to work. He¡¯s really been playing games instead!¡± A new message appeared on the screen:

¡°ENTER NAMES

Mark¡¯s finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

¡°INPUT ACCEPTED.

START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.

AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(×Ô¶¯»ØÊÕ³ÌÐòÒÑÆô¶¯).¡±

The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

¡°I think we¡¯d better shut it off, Mark,¡± Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(¹âÊø) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(¹ââ)£¬until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed£º
