The museum sold you a big fat lie:
Sold in space museum gift shops across the United States as “space ice cream” or “astronaut ice cream,” this melt-in-your-mouth treat might seem like a staple item on orbit. But don’t be tricked! Apollo 7 in 1968 was the first and last time freeze-dried ice cream ever left Earth. Why? Vickie Kloeris said that while kids may love it, “it’s not an adult thing, and nothing like real ice cream. It’s really just a hard hard cotton candy that’s extremely crumbly.”
