It's old news. They already use Oreos as heatshield for re-entry.

Other note to self: Contract with NASA to have a dairy farm located right next to their re-entry vehicle landing spot. Make $$.

Only two dollar signs? I feel like you'd be able to milk more out of it than that!

You're right! I'll amend that right now:

I’ve actually heard that’s why the dairy industry is so big.

This is what's wrong with the government. Just use whole milk; it tastes way better, and most of the calories are coming from the cookies anyway.

Can confirm. I scored the milk pool contract once. They overpay.

You can't. It's private technology.

They started after Columbia

They found it worked better only after the space shuttle Columbia incident

u/zeppehead 2d ago

That’s stopped using those after the disaster. Someone ate a piece of the heat shield.

u/GeneralRainbow 2d ago

Except for on Challenger, they used Hydrox.
