I am waiting for the Spx-2 updates and discussion threads.

Has there been any SLC-40 activity with the next F9 yet?

Grrr!!! Why won't they listen to the only certified expert in the food field here at NSF? HMMM? Apples produce more ethylene gas than my favorite fruit, Strawberries. They would be so much more ISS friendly that even Jim couldn't complain. HMMF!!! :(

I am sure the ISS crew know that and will destroy them immediatly. One pass through the digestive tract will certainly destroy their ability to produce ethylene. :D

How dare they!  Those apples weren't on the official manifest!   VERY unprofessional!  ;)

Wait and see if it happens again.

Reminds of some tomatoes I recently gave a cousin, she promptly forgot them and left them in her sisters cup holder. Boy, talk about fire works two weeks later when the sister came back from vacation. You would think a Merlin 1C had shredded or something. The point being undeclared perishables might be missed and then you have a host of problems.

Hopefully Chris will be cleaning up all the half eaten food and drinks in the Party thread after the Dragon lands :)

I applied when they originally offered the position. They sent me the nicest rejection letter I've ever seen. ;)

My guess is that the apples and the SpaceX photos may have been a surprise to the crew but not to NASA.  Judging by the thoroughness with which NASA manages the ISS, I just don't see SpaceX endangering their future access to ISS missions by sending up ANY unauthorized cargo.

There is probably a public "official" manifest, and then a REAL "official" manifest.

Clearly this "forbidden fruit" proves that Elon is the devil. :P

I'm sure it was a surprise to the astros, but not to ISS MOD. Maybe that was the "late load" demonstration? Apples and ice-cream?

It has happened before and it will happen again. Lots of times. You should know that.
