STS047-31-009 (12-20 Sept 1992) --- Two NASA astronauts prepare to try their hand at a new method of eating an in-space meal as chopsticks are called upon by a third crew member. Pictured left to right, are Curtis L. Brown, Jr., pilot; payload specialist Mamoru Mohri representing Japan's National Space Development Agency (NASDA); and Robert L. Gibson, mission commander. Several months of training, as well as the eight-days of sharing research on the Spacelab-J mission, allowed the astronauts and payload specialist to learn a great deal about the two cultures.
