The article says it is 'still used today'. Does that mean it's still in use by NASA, or just sold in gift shops and the like?

[edit] It was used by a shuttle crew a few missions ago!

AStronaut Ice Cream was taken on a shuttle mission 2 years ago. While it is not taken on every mission certain astronauts do like the product and request it.

[edit] extremely high in calories

i once bought some of this stuff and ate it all. it was about the size of a small granolla bar, and then i looked at the nutrition information and found out i'd eaten something like a thousand calories. i'm not saying the stuff is bad. far from it; it's delicious. i just think that part is worth mentioning. that is if memory serves and i'm right.

245 calories, I believe...They've toned down the recipe.

[edit] Making fast edit

Since coming across something similar in AfD, I noticed in this article that the top paragraph notes that "Astronaut Ice Cream" is a trademark. The last paragraph read (until my edit a moment from now,) "Astonaut Ice Cream..." It should be "Freeze-dried ice cream," the edit I will make momentarily. LaughingVulcan 00:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Still being made

This product is produced by Oregon Freeze-Dry, based in Albany, OR. The article mentions that the process takes hours - when I worked at OFD, freeze-dried ice cream took the longest chamber time, at roughly 32 hours.
