Apollo 12 Astronaut Alan L. Bean's 'Favorite Meal'

Alan L. Bean, the Lunar Module Pilot on the Apollo 12 mission in 1969, wanted to be "the first human to eat spaghetti on the moon." Bean received two dried pasta meals from NASA, including "9291 Spaghetti With Meat Sauce," "Orange 9288 Grapefruit Drink," and a delicious packet of "9293 Peaches" for dessert. Bean could only eat one of the meals, while the other was returned to Earth and auctioned in 2015 by Bonhams for $50,000 to $80,000.

More than 70 items were included in the meals on Apollo 12, including rehydratable freeze-dried products, wet-pack and spoon-bowl foods, and ready-to-eat meals. Whirlpool Corporation worked with the US Army Laboratory in Natick, Massachusetts to make and package the food for the Apollo missions. The astronaut had to use a water pistol to inject water into the food bag, then knead it for roughly three minutes to work the moisture into the food in the wet-pack instances in this collection. After that, the package would be sliced open with scissors and eaten.
