Concentrated milk In 1950, concentrated milk was first test-marketed in the U.S. in Wilmington, Delaware. The Sealtest brand was produced by the Clover Dairy Company (a division of National Dairy Products Corporation). Fresh milk contains about 88% water. Partial water removal concentrates the milk to one-third of its original volume yielding a a heavy, creamy-looking milk. This gives benefits including improved shelf-life, reduced storage space, and lower weight saving transportation cost. The high-temperature processing of evaporated or condensed milk results in changed taste. Concentrated milk, however, is made at lower pressures and temperatures so that when water is added, it tastes like fresh whole milk with the same food values. |

International Space Station In 2000, an American astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts became the first permanent residents of the international space station, at the start of their four-month mission. After their Soyuz spacecraft linked up at 11:00am GMT, William Shepherd, Sergei Krikalev and Yuri Gidzenko entered the station, turned on the lights and life support systems, and proceeded to set up a live television link with the Russian mission control to confirm that the move-in was going well. They were confined to two of the space station's three rooms until space shuttle Endeavor arrived in early Dec. with giant solar panels that would provide all the necessary power. |
