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?

You can't use a term to define the term itself

Really, Fotaun? Couldn't think of a better way to describe Freeze Dried Ice Cream other than "Ice Cream that has been freeze-dried"? _________________________________________________ Ummm...how else would YOU describe it? Why not make an edit, if you don't like the way it was described, and think you can do a better job? 108.231.42.28 (talk) 20:52, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Taste and texture

The writing quality is very amateur and pathetic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.19.15.219 (talk) 23:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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.

On the the back of the package I'm eating now it says 110 --Edwardsdl (talk) 05:34, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.

Not real ice cream?

In the article, it says, "Skylab had a refrigerator that was used for real ice cream, and occasionally Space Shuttle and International Space Station astronauts have enjoyed real ice cream." Is it not real ice cream? Is it because it's not creamy? If freeze-dried ice cream is really real ice cream, then calling the wet stuff "real ice cream" isn't very specific. It seems like ice cream but just freeze-dried. - Wuffyz 05:06, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

This is all false. All of it.

Cunningham himself has said they never had this stuff, and it was never developed by "whirlpool" they are a appliance maker, not a food producer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.103.200.71 (talk) 03:03, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vox made a video about this [1]. Sizeofint (talk) 02:47, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whirlpool did develop products from NASA: "We continued working with the government to develop food and equipment for space travel, pioneering the development of food, waste management and personal hygiene systems used in all of NASA’s Gemini, Apollo and Skylab missions." ^[1] 2602:304:CDDD:5B00:156F:3B80:5857:316F (talk) 14:17, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

By 1972, astronauts also ate classic ice cream on the Skylab space station

Interesting, since Wikipedia (q.v.) says that Skylab didn't launch till 1973. 108.231.42.28 (talk) 20:50, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
