Unmanned Rocket Bringing Ice Cream to International Space Station

Super computers and ice cream.

The unmanned Falcon 9 rocket is bringing a special delivery to the International Space Station.

The successful launch happened Monday afternoon, blasting off from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center.

It’s mainly carrying experiments, totaling 6,400 pounds of cargo that includes 20 mice.

The dragon capsule is also doubling as an ice cream truck this time.

There was extra freezer space, so NASA packed little cups of vanilla, chocolate and birthday cake ice cream for the station’s crew of six, as well as ice cream candy bars.

SpaceX will try to land its leftover booster back at Cape Canaveral.
