I was curious about this auction for Mir flown food on eBay.

Any help on how to authenticate beyond what the seller provides? Thanks!

The food packages are all consistent with what flew at the time. Given the details provided, at least some of the food likely did fly. I have emailed you with more information.

I'd suggest asking the seller for more details about the circumstances his brother received the packages.

June 16, 2000 was the last occupation of Mir. Mir was deorbited, I believe, in March 2001. Is some of the Mir food labeled 2001? Is that the preparation date or expiration date?

In any event, it looks like cool items to own.
