Re: Edible Lunar Vehicle

*Yep, I know this folder is supposed to be devoted to Mars, but what the heck (doesn't quite belong in "Human Missions" either, IMO) -- so will make an exception.  I did Search with different choice words to see if this article has been previously posted; a result doesn't return.

Interesting concept.  Maybe we can get Weird Al Yankovich's spoof song "Eat It!" as background music.    Good luck to the students.

Re: Edible Lunar Vehicle

Not to get us to far off the topic but that reminded me of all those large super sized pumpkins that are entered into the Fairs and what to do with them afterwoods.
How about rafting after hollowing them out was just one of those craze thoughts...

I am wondering about the effects of radiation if one would need to really eat it and not just its taste....

Re: Edible Lunar Vehicle

Hmmm edible vehicle.

*pair of stranded astronauts on Mars eating their now-dismantled edible lander*

"Pass me another excursion module leg...."

"Oooh try the rover's right wheel.  They went with chocolate doughnut... "

  Somehow this is what went through my mind when this topic came up.
