Tykeanaut | I have only just learned this from reading "How Apollo Flew to the Moon" by W. David Woods that apparently the dehydrated food taken to the lunar surface had to be eaten cold by the astronauts as there was not enough room for a heater as in the Command Module. I wonder if they actually had food that should have been warmed or took foods that were to be eaten cold anyhow to be more palatable? |
moorouge | Crew menus are to be found in the Apollo 11 Press Kit. Meals on the lunar surface are on p132. |

garymilgrom | Looks like lots of food we'd consider warm, like coffee, pot roast etc. But XI only spent a few hours on the surface - were the longer missions restricted to cold food too? |
Lou Chinal | I know Al Bean was the first man to eat spaghetti on the moon, so it must have been cold. |
Blackarrow | I suspect Al Bean is also the last man to eat spaghetti on the Moon. |
Captain Apollo | With all the redundancy built into Apollo I am surprised they only took 3 spoons. |

They only really need one. The other two are redundant. |
Captain Apollo | I would not want to share a spoon, not even with Jim Lovell. |

Not when the LM was on the surface! Remember Ron Evans' scissor incident? |
