Domino's dreams of pies in the sky

In 2001, the Japanese branch of the Domino's Pizza chain sent along pies for the crew of the International Space Station during a routine supply run in what was the first pizza delivery in space, Yahoo! News reported.

More recently, Domino's hired construction firm Maeda Corp. to draw up plans for a moon-based Domino's restaurant, and the company is finally ready to show them off.

The lunar eatery will cost an estimated $22 billion to complete, and will require 15 rocket trips to deliver supplies to our planetary neighbor's rocky surface.

Staff would be required to live at the restaurant, which might not be such a bad gig considering the company plans to have a huge recreation area inside the complex. Domino's employees would grow everything on-site in state-of-the-art lunar gardens.

Customers will be able to choose to come in for a bite to eat, or have their pizza brought to them by spacesuit-clad delivery boys. (点击雅虎新闻网站查看原文)

达美乐比萨欲月球开店

       据雅虎新闻报道,2001年,达美乐比萨日本一家分店利用常规的供应线为国际空间站的工作人员送了一些比萨,这是第一次太空比萨外卖。

       而如今,达美乐雇了一个建筑公司美达公司计划直接在月球上开一个分店,达美乐已经准备好展示这一分店。

       这个月球饭馆将耗资220亿美元,需要15趟火箭发射才能把需要的物品送到月球表面。

       服务员将住在这个旋转餐馆里,里面设施不错,达美乐计划在里面建一个巨大的娱乐区。员工将在这个一流的月球花园里种原料。

       顾客可以选择在这里吃或者让穿着太空服的外卖小子把比萨送过去。
