@chkrblu This was a simulation; same thing the networks used on their live coverage of the lunar landings to show what was going on.

I believe Space Food Sticks were actually developed for the Mercury program and were tried out by John Glenn on his orbital flight, and extensively used by Giordon Cooper on his day-and-a-half in orbit on the final Mercury flight.
On subsequent missions, freeze-dried pouches of food were used that would be eaten out of the pouch (to avoid crumbs in zero-G floating around), but I think these sticks were used as an emergency backup.

How did they get the camera on the moon BEFORE the lunar landing!? Man, they WERE the greatest generation!

@futuristfood --I'm not really interested in eating 35 yr. old breakfast sticks.
I made my my mom and dad buy those things. They were not the best tasting snacks in the world but I got to eat what I thought the astronauts ate. I probably was eating those things when I saw Neil Armstrong first walk on the moon.
