Made by Jam Handy, presented by Whirlpool and featuring Peter Hackes, a science reporter, this Apollo era film "How Many Meals to the Moon?" shows how food was developed for NASA astronauts. The film was directed by Lou Kramer. The film begins with footage of Boy Scouts working with Estes type model rockets (1:30). The film then delves into the problems of food preparation, packaging, storage, serving and disposal and the role played by the Life Support Department of Whirlpool in this area. At 3:00 a woman works in a modern kitchen with beautiful space age refrigerators and ranges built by Whirlpool. At 3:48 the Gemini Program is shown with astronauts performing EVAs. At 4:30 the head of Life Support, Dr. Norman Roth, is introduced and there's a discussion of the space food challenge. At 5:44 the environment of space is described and at 6:30 the challenges of the Apollo program described -- no cooking in space, and food must survive decompression and storage for two weeks' time. At 7:30 fruits and vegetables are shown as well as other staples. At 8:40 the experimental kitchen at Whirlpool is shown. At 9:15 a menu is shown for an astronaut, then a table of "normal" food, and at 9:50 the same food is shown in plastic packages. At 10:15 testing of preparation equipment for bacteria is shown. At 10:29 freeze drying is shown. At 10:42 cube foods are shown including toasted bread and cereal cubes. At 10:54 a dehydrated fruit salad is shown. At 12:20 "go or no go" on a cube before freeze drying. At 13:30 quality control is ensured by a woman scientist at a work station. At 14:26 meal units are assembled. At 15:00 food is shipped to NASA and placed into the Apollo Command Module and stowed in the crew compartment. At 15:34 the galley is seen in the food preparation area. At 15:44, kids ask "how do they eat?" At 15:54 an astronaut in zero-G demonstrates opening the galley and accessing food supplies. At 17:00 the astronaut cuts open the tube and adds water to reconstitute the food. At 18:18 he eats a piece of gingerbread, keeping his mouth closed so as to prevent crumbs from going into the Command Module. At 18:45 a pill is placed into the package to prevent bacterial growth in the used food package before placing into the waste storage space. At 19:50 the astronaut chews on a piece of sugarless gum to keep his stomach busy. The film ends with images of a simulated walk on the Moon at 20:27.
Peter Hackes (June 2, 1924 - April 17, 1994) was a longtime American TV and radio correspondent who late in life had acting roles in two prominent American films.

Mmmm! Ok, let's get this out on to a tray.
Nice
Hiss.
We're going to be starting the day off right with Seven and a half Million Pounds of Thrust!
Oh, nice hiss
This would have played well on MST3K.
Originally released in late 1968. At the time, Peter Hackes was also a correspondent for NBC News.
4:35 : "Dr Roth, what is the chief concern of your department"? "Our department is most concerned about what happened to our necks".
Lol
Thats my grandpa dr norman g roth
When he created and produced "I DREAM OF JEANNIE", Sidney Sheldon was given access to NASA testing and development {they gave him full cooperation in filming the series, as Larry Hagman DID portray an Air Force officer assigned to the NASA space program}. He once tried typical "space food" astronauts were given on their missions- he later said they tasted "terrible".
Larry Hagman liked his food with booze -- breakfast, lunch and supper. Bill Dailey said he would bring champagne to the set and drink it like water throughout the day.
Yes, that was the case. In fact, Larry usually started his day at the studio by drinking almost a full bottle of champagne *before* the first scene of the day was filmed. And he was SO professional, few people knew he was "holding his liquor".
For a 7 day mission in space I would be ok just drinking nutrition shakes. This was a very nice luxury they gave astronauts for a short trip.
I love the final statement. "So, how many meals to the Moon???? Who knows, but you can bet Whirlpool will be there" hehe so cheesy. They did end up making good washing machines though for sure.
Didn't they say, 3 meals a day, enough for a 14 day journey to the moon? That would be 42 times 3 = 126 meals needed for the trip!
They made a really good washing machine but astronauts didn't have to do dishes....lol
@@jaminova_1969 imagine digesting 126 meals in a tiny space like that ...
"I'm Skippy Hackett, Space Reporter!"
Peter Hackes was associated with NBC News from 1955 through 1986. His "beat" was Washington, D.C., covering events on Capitol Hill, the State Department....and NASA (he was involved in the coverage of President Kennedy and his brother Robert's assassinations and funerals). After his retirement, he narrated radio programs for AARP, the National Weather Service and the U.S. Army. Hackes died of a heart attack in April 1994.
And now, the further adventures of "PETER HACKES - SPACE REPORTER "
1:30 The only kid eating is the pudgy one.
"Why is there chocolate on the Mercury Rocket"?
Man seeing them Estes Rockets. Reminded me of how much trouble I got into with them..
The roots of Soylent Green
outstanding!!!
Yes, I got very excited too lol ...
At least Whirlpool is involved...
Whenever I watch a documentary about space travel one of the things I can’t get my head around is the problems astronauts face with orientation both of themselves and the space craft, as the host/narrator said, “no up, no down” etc, must take an extremely intelligent and rational person to be an astronaut, personally I don’t think I would make a very good candidate for space travel.
A very interesting and informative film again, thanks for sharing. 👍.
It took extreme overachievers to succeed with that. No doubt.
No kidding because there is no "floor" as we think of it. I watched a very high definition video tour of the International Space Station and was thinking the same thing. Very disorienting.
Several astronauts, particularly from Apollo missions, said it was not too difficult to adapt to the no-gravity environment. When they were focused on a task in front them, which was the case most of the time, the area above their heads naturally became "up' to their minds, and below became "down."
The great problem was within their bodies, as digestion was very uncertain. About half of space travelers have regularly become nauseated in 0-g. Others have been ok.
I watch the whole movie to get the answer...in the last 15 seconds, the narrarator asks the question again "how many meals to the moon?" Then he says "no one knows"
They check the air, swab for bacteria - and then touch the food with bare hands??
don't forget the rings and jewelry still on!
😂🤮
What people don't realize is that in microgravity, there is a fluid shift from your legs to your head and it gives you the impression that you have a cold. This fluid shift does affect how the astronauts taste bids react in microgravity, for example someone might like some food on earth, but in space they might not like it or someone who doesn't like certain foods on the ground, can't get enough of it in space.
Looks like only one motor of two ignited in the close-up of that Centuri Saturn IB at the first of the video. I built and flew one of those back in the early seventies. I'm not sure it would have flown as shown with only one motor; I'm guessing the in-flight shot was from another (probably previous) launch attempt. Great memories seeing these rockets again! (Also, I hope that astronaut at the end of the video had eaten his "Wheaties," because there's no ladder--or even a knotted rope--for him to climb back into the lunar module mock-up...lol).
I built one of those things. I never found it once I launched launched it. As I figured if two C motors was good. 4 D was even better..
Ahhhh, that bewildering rapidity of orbiting around the world. Rapidity? Repidaty? Peter, you've let us hanging (except in space where you have assured us there is no gravity!0
Fastitude.
Dr Roth suffers from the same affliction I do….someone stole his neck. 🤔
There is always a Big Kid feeding his pie hole in the show . Lumpy from leave it to beaver and the guy eating wimpy burgers in Popeye
And, that "guy" would have been J. Wellington Wimpy.
My mom bought a lot of Tang when I was a little kid in the 70's.
Tang, Quaker Oats, and Pop Tarts made me the man I am today. Obese.
I got a lot of tang as a kid in the 70’s 😏
I still buy it at the local supermarket!
My grandpa norm picked tang for the space program
My mom was the "Tang" in the 70's ... :)
Haha. Have the chunky kid eating a candy bar keep asking about how the crew will eat. Lol. Stay classy, Jam Handy Productions.
right?? And then the kid is chewing away on gum looking at him while he continues on...
That was always one of the stereotypes films would not get away from back then.
Good look at the technical aspects of making the meals, but the human (translate, prankster) aspect of space travelers was a different story.
Notice how Peter Hackes said crumbs floating around could damage the spacecraft's wiring. That was a real life lesson from the first Gemini mission. Wally Schirra gave crew member John Young a corn beef sandwich from a restaurant at the space center and urged him to take it up as contraband. Young pulled it out in orbit, to the surprise of commander Gus Grissom. Crumbs, which Schirra and Young had figured would be minimal, floated everywhere, threatening the mission and endangering the crew.
Among other, less hazardous but just as immature pranks, Apollo 12's Pete Conrad and Richard Gordon put a used feces collection bag into rookie Alan Bean's food compartment for him to unknowingly pull out at meal time. Ah, the right stuff.
of course that what youd like to know!
The technology and development that gave us MRE's and LRP's. What no M&M's or instant coffee type 1?
Well at least you don’t have argue about who’s turn it is to do the Dishes.
So how are they sealed from the vacuum of space again?
Skippy had a great voice for sports!
What happened?
Ok thats all about the intake of the food. What about its outtake? Its hard to imagine something like that in such a small space.
1:35...."Freddy had mixed feeling about the day....He had been looking forward to this weekend, and was proud of the launch control console that he and his father had built....But he really wished he had spilled the half gallon of pink paint, left over from his sister's doll house".
I wonder how the Russians handled space food. Probably a lot more simply but also working well
Pasta and vodka as usual comrade!
They shared toothpaste tubes of borscht with the US astronauts on Apollo Soyuz Test Project... some were comically relabeled "vodka". Later! OL J R :)
They had to be careful about eating the right chocolate Brownies....
What I'd like to know, is how the astronauts eat
A good question
AHH! Who are you? And who are you talking to?
Alot better than the frozen cabbage the Russian astronauts were to be given.
Anyone have any idea what the song at 16:24 is?
I am surprised world, warden, not go to military rations
Why do you move slower in space?
I woulen't have bother measuring each cube of food. Maybe 1 from everybatch, but then, its government work soo!
They are not wearing gloves when preparing the food............ 😠😠😠
I was disappointed, I wanted to see them eat steak and potatoes not fruit salad.
It's an interesting mind experiment wondering how an appliance manufacturer landed the food contract for NAStronauts. Mystifying why they took no credit for Tang, too.
Tang was invented by General Foods Corporation and had been around for a while before Spaceflight
@@DonalMountain It's like manna from heaven when useful information results from one of my silly jokes. Thanks, Mr. Mountain.
Ponder this for a microsecond, though: Can you think of a single other product that got more publicity than Tang from the space program? I was semi-sentient through most of the '60s and cannot think of Tang outside the context of space travel.
Just wash it down with some Tang!
"Thats a good question"
*Guy looks over at the narrator like, 'who the hell is this guy'"
From2022 interesting
1:55 fat boi ate all the space pies.
dan dare Moon pies too.
@@jetvette66 Badoom Splash........don't forget to wash it down with some buzz cola...........it's outta this world.
Chocolate pudding AND chocolate brownies together for desert?
Whirlpool, the company that took Maytag Appliances and stripped it of its Quality and Reputation, these days it just puts the Maytag name on it's junk
My god those handmade individual cubes that each need to be hand dipped in gelatin & then checked with a caliper must have been a huge pain in the ass & as it turns out completely unnecessary& we’re disliked by crew
Only way you got baked goods... bread, cookies, etc. all cubes- single bite, chew with your mouth shut, don't make crumbs. OL J R :)
Норм
Whirlpool
They didn't need meals, there was a good restaurant Down the street from the movie set
1:51 id like to know how the astronauts shit...
14 44 mask holly sheet
Well, ZERO menu development, but that's govt for you: tell you one thing, deliver another.
Now that's some old skool whitebread, corny ass 60's era corporate subsidized govt issue propaganda!
Marketing nonsense for the ignorant masses. Always good for a laugh 😂
