There's a whole museum in Yokohama, Japan dedicated to Cup Noodles. It's called the CupNoodles Museum , and it's dedicated to the history of the product and the mind of Momofuku Ando.
The museum website states that there are 5, flavor combinations. The first noodles ever consumed in space were instant ramen noodles. Momofuku Ando wanted to make ramen portable and easy to eat not only on earth, but also in space, and he succeeded in Two years before he died, Ando created "Space Ram," a vacuum-packed ramen made with smaller noodles so they can be cooked without using boiled water and a thicker broth to prevent dispersal.

When noodles have to be cooked, frozen, and then microwaved, the bar is set very high for the scientists hoping to make a quick ramen lunch palatable. Instant ramen, of course, has a beloved place in many hearts. The comforting bounce of noodles that have been fried and dried and rehydrated, the bite of the salty soup packets, the swift transformation from brittle puck to savory snack — what's not to like?

And as American palates learned what these noodles could be like in recent years, following a groundswell of ramen shop openings, the company began to ponder producing something closer to the fresh version, recounts Taro Komura, an executive vice president at Ajinomoto Foods North America.
Ajinomoto, by the way, was founded in by a Japanese chemist who discovered certain molecules behind the flavour called umami and gave it its name — he started the company to sell monosodium glutamate, a tasty new seasoning. Because instant ramen has to cook swiftly when the hot water is poured over it, the noodles are designed with plenty of space within each strand. From the perspective of Ajinomoto and its goal of delivering a better ramen, the best way to get a fresh-tasting noodle to the customer was to cook it, then freeze it.
That required a technically different approach from instant noodles. Porous noodles don't age well, as anyone who's forgotten a cup of noodles in the microwave can relate. The resulting mess is swollen and soggy.
