And by the way, did you know that so-called astronaut ice cream—that duplicitous treat!—was sent to space only once?
It is true that freeze-dried ice cream was developed under contract for NASA during the 1960s, but the only record of its presence on a mission is a menu from a single 1968 voyage. Apparently, astronauts never really developed a taste for it, and the dessert’s crumbliness made it a bad fit for zero-g; now they eat regular ice cream in space.
More dusty stuff for the kids at Epcot, then—but they should know they are eating a lie!
Until tomorrow.
