good thing they caught that mold. Or it would have made the basis for a horrible sci-fi-outer space film.

If they can’t get something as simple as keeping mold off the mouse food, what else have they neglected?

Mouse 1: What was it we had for dinner tonight?

Mouse 2: Well, we had a choice of cheese or pellets.

Mouse 1: Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.

This is like the scene in “Patton” where an entire armored column is halted because a jackass won’t move off of a bridge. Patton was infuriated that an entire column was held up because of a jackass and then shot it, and it was unceremoniously dumped off.

Just buy some damned alfalfa pellets, or some cheese, or Doritos, or ANYTHING - these idiots let an entire space mission get delayed for MOUSE FOOD!
