Great to see the Monty Python skit! Who says rocket scientists don’t have a sense of humor?

“although what any of it has to do with shooting it into space, I don’t know.”

Like “Linie Aquavit” it can be sold a something special,
Name” Space Cheese”.
And: there was need for some ballast I think.

I don’t see how Le Brouere was chosen specifically based on the Monty Python sketch. I didn’t even notice it being mentioned in there. It really should have been Wensleydale, since that was the proprietor’s name, although what any of it has to do with shooting it into space, I don’t know.

It’s a pity it wasn’t Wensleydale…. Wallace’s and Grommet’s favorite cheese.
They actually flew the first cheese in space, though it came back from the moon, not just a few orbits around the earth. )))
But SpaceX forgot the CRACKERS!!!!!!

First they wanted to
fly some Limburger, but their law department
warned this might looked at as a biological weapon.
