They should expand the experience by replicating the Head on the Space Station.

The freeze dried ice cream was always pretty good. We used to buy the Neopolitan bars at the Air and Space museum...

How can this possibly be a good idea? Do their passengers really give a crap about what astronauts eat, or is Lufthansa’s service so wonderful that all the passenger’s needs are being met?

Years ago I met Al Worden, the CSM on Apollo 15. He shared a funny story about space food (and drink).

The 3-man crew made their food selections during mission planning.

Once they got into orbit, Al noticed he was getting low on coffee. He asked David Scott and Jim Irwin if they had seen his coffee and they replied, "we've been drinking it."

One of them followed up, "we picked hot chocolate instead of coffee, but we got sick of it after a couple of days, so we made your coffee!"

Imagine, a pilot orbiting the moon with no coffee. Long ride home, I bet.

Yep. A can by any other name is still a can. I think the treats we send our astronauts are much better.

The space food, now served at 35,000 feet in addition to 250 miles above the planet, is available to business class passengers on long-haul flights originating in Germany.

I bet it taste better than the food I had on United last month.

Unfrosted Pop Tarts would have been better.

Tang and liquefied yams?

No thanks.

I’ll have the steak, with French fries, and key lime pie afterward, thank you. With a half bottle of Burgundy, if available.
