NASA lauches Ice cream, pizza into space

An ice cream truck was launched into space Sunday morning from Virginia.

That may be a slightly distorted description of the resupply craft for the international space station that was launched from the NASA facility on Wallops Island.

But, one of the astronauts on board the station did post a Tweet that said in part, “Pizza and ice cream on the way!” Astronaut Joseph M.

Acaba said those on the station were “Eagerly awaiting the arrival” of the Cygnus cargo vehicle.

In addition to the treats, the resupply craft, he said, was “packed full” of scientific equipment and supplies. Orbital ATK, the Dulles based company that has a contract to provision the space station, said Sunday that the Cygnus supply craft was “in great shape” and that “everything is performing” properly.
