Quaker Steak & Lube Pennsylvania Premium Garlic (kind of like a spicy, concentrated Italian dressing), which is sadly a Discontinued Food. Their Arizona Ranch sauce is a runner up, though.

And if you love NASA aircraft as much as I do, please enjoy this video about the ER-2, featuring amazing cockpit views from not-quite-space.

air-LUSI measures the moon's spectral irradiance. Because it flies above 90% of the atmosphere in the wing pod of a NASA ER-2 (civilian U-2 variant), it can take better measurements than Earth-based instruments, which will result in better calibrations for satellites that study Earth.

I'm very fond of Shore Leave, although their current cocktail menu (at least as of about a month ago) isn't my favorite iteration.

I'd like to be included if there's room for planetary scientists who only post every few weeks! If starter pack lists are limited in length I fully understand prioritizing people who post more often.
