space ice cream
Freeze-dried treat
Space ice cream is freeze-dried ice cream sold as a novelty, marketed as astronaut food.
The freeze-drying process removes moisture, leaving a brittle, chalky block that doesn't require refrigeration.
Despite its association with space travel, astronauts rarely actually eat it—it's mostly found in museum gift shops and science centers: The kids begged for space ice cream at the planetarium.
