I hated it...................

I had a dehydrated ice cream sandwich once. Impulse purchase from the backpacking food section at Scheel’s. It tasted like ice cream and wasn’t bad. It was better if you held each bite in your mouth for a bit and let it “melt”.

Send up a pregnant cockroach with every crew. In about three months things will be okay. Theyll have all they can eat and more.

About ten years ago I sat next to a guy on a plane who worked for NASA. He had been an USAF officer during Vietnam. Then an alternate astronaut for the Space Shuttle. He never got his shot to go into space. He was in charge of grant money for NASA. He was returning to Houston after a trip to Dartmouth.

He told me the biggest issues in sending people into space was what it did to the human body. Everyone who spends times on the International Space Station returns NEAR SITED. Everyone has bone density loss.

So, they have no problem building a rocket and sending it to Mars, but the issue is would the people on it survive?

I really wonder if ANYONE at NASA or Space X has actually done the math to find out just how much, food, water, air and other consumables it will take to keep a modest crew of say 3-5 people alive for a trip to Mars and back.

The dehydrated ice cream is fun! It’s like biting styrofoam and then it melts in your mouth and tastes just like ice cream.
