There is one time a year I eat too much (or any) candy, and it’s in October.
But it’s not Halloween. It’s at the International Symposium on Personal and Commercial Spaceflight, where they have candy bars and big bowls of M&Ms in the afternoon.

No Mars bars? 😉
Well, they did have Milky Ways…
Mmmmmm. M&Ms. 😀
Wonder if they are all green M&Ms… For green martians and lunar green cheese context, of course…
Nope, standard issue.
back when my guys were working digital cinema, I attended the conference of movie theater owners in Vegas. Sweet Jesus the vendors gave away great junk food. My favorite was the beta test version of extruded, on-demand french fries.
Lynne, that sounds disgusting! Probably lots of oil and salt?
Disgustingly awesome you mean.
oh yeah, Eric; lots of oil and salt. I’d market them as “carmelized potatoes” but what do I know about marketing?
The devil maketh JIT sin.
Elon Musk should sell chocolate replicas of the Falcon 9.
Or the Falcon Heavy, but that would be more fattening.
Nope, bigger sugar rush.
Heavy sugar lift!
I’m thinking if NASA screws around and Musk can’t get to the Station this year he should launch Dragon full of something delicious then eBay the whole lot when it gets back. Space candy anyone? How about some orbital Jerky.
Good idea, but a government contractor would never risk their government contracts with such a rebellious act. Instead SpaceX will just meekly wait until NASA says its OK to launch.
Jjs, that’s a fantastic idea! Hmmm. How much would I be willing to pay for a bag of M&Ms that had made that trip?
Dragon has 3k kg down mass. Which is about 100k bags or bars of candy. He’d have to make $560 per piece to break even. I believe the candy express will have to go suborbital.
There you go with that pesky math again. What a downer.
