THE LITTLE SEATS

If you think about it, fish is a strange meal to have on an aircraft. Chicken, I get - it has wings, it's a bird - sure, chicken makes some weird kind of sense. There's logic there.

But fish? An aircraft is about as alien an environment as fish is likely to get. It's pretty strange for we humans, so the fish have got to be freaking out up there. It's probably the only time when a creature is actually grateful it's been killed to eat, because, I assure you, there is no way it would voluntarily be in that aircraft.

Does anyone know what the in-flight meal was on the Moon landings? Was it normal plane food, or was it, y'know, something special? I'd like to think that it was punny stuff, like moon dust and Mars bars, maybe a Milky Way, some Orbit chewing gum.

"Mister Armstrong, Mister Aldrin - here's your STAR-ter. D'you see what I did there? Star. It's air-leek soup. Hah-hah-hah. Nah, I'm just joshing you, guys."

"Yeah, sure. Just open up that crater beer over there and ease up on the jokes, garcon."
