Robert Pearlman | SpaceX release SpaceX Reveal's Dragon's "Secret" PayloadBefore the successful launch, voyage, and recovery of SpaceX's Dragon Spacecraft, the first time in history a commercial company has recovered a spacecraft from orbit, reporters were buzzing with news of a "secret" payload, stowed on board. It was a payload so secret, SpaceXers made it Top Secret (think Val Kilmer 1984, not official US Government). So what was inside the mystery package? Their tribute to Monty Python. A wheel of cheese.

Fezman92 | Ha! Should have done spam! |
Rocket Chris | ...a fondue of that cheese... yamyam! |
FFrench | Whey to go! First cheese to Gouda space. I Cheddar tear of joy. SpaceX have proven it is possible to Gruyère own space program. Even though it was a brie-f flight, I would call that a Feta compli. They've put the lactic back into galactic. Although Edam near lost it in the ocean. |
AFGAS | Notify Wallace and Grommet! |
Leon Ford | Blessed are the Cheesemakers. |

Francis, you are wrong. One of the first astronauts was Gouda Cooper! |
E2M Lem Man | ...at least it wasn't a dead parrot! |
cspg | Kind of glad it's a private company that pulled this off. Imagine the uproar if NASA had done the same... |
Lunar rock nut | Who cut the cheese |
Steve Procter | Are they crackers...? Is that Cow Laughing? I think it took considerable 'Kraft' to build this rocket... Will it come to the UK to be displayed in the National Space Centre in (Red) Leicester? We've gotta get 'gouda' this place... I write all my own material and am available on some (well all), dates!! |

Well, it was the idea of the Big Cheese at SpaceX...Or did some closeout worker say to another when hiding the cargo, "Cheese it! The cops are coming!" |
fredtrav | I am glad they didn't bleu it. |
jasonelam | Gotta love the label on the top of the canister, great "fromage" to "Top Secret!". |
David Carey | A Muenster accomplishment! |
gliderpilotuk | Ricotta stop all of these unfeta'd puns. Even though there's stil-tons left, it's starting to grate. We have Robert's parmesan to post caerphilly. (Groan) |
Lunar rock nut | What is going to happen to the now infamous wheel of cheese? Is it destined for the party table, a museum, the freezer or will it wind up on someones door step on Christmas morning in a Fed-Ex or UPS container? |
Rob Joyner | Half inch cheese cubes encased in acrylic displays maybe? |

I think if they had sent a fruit cake no Lucite would have been needed. They could have cut it into one half inch squares and have it mounted, guarantee it would last forever and no one will ever eat it. These folks have a great sense of humor; I like their program even more now! |
