Astronaut Ice Cream

Astronaut ice cream, as well as other freeze-dried food items, have been aboard space missions since the early Mercury missions. The process of freeze-drying, or lyophilization, begins by removing water from the ice cream by lowering the air pressure to a point where ice shifts from a solid to a gas. The final result of the process is a perfectly dehydrated slice of ice cream.  This is great for a stocking stuffer or for a novelty prize for the next science fair. 

Features:

• Freeze-dried neapolitan ice cream slice included in each package
• Ready to eat--no rehydration necessary
• Great gift for astronomy fans and your favorite aspiring astronaut
