(comment to QuarkSpin) but it was great to read through prior to checking the links and watching the videos... hilarious! Thanks for all, because now I know where the 39 seconds reference in the Blair event comes from, though he seems to have been the only one to implode from the dehydrating power of the pie. Where I'd like to see this implemented is just before the Shuttle crews come downstairs to board the astrovan. Suit up, pressure checks, helmets and gloves off... moon pie challenge... head downstairs... Delays seem to be inherent in the space biz with none being immune!

Will Pomerantz and Mike Fabio took the opportunity to have an eating rematch and post it online (their first eating contest involved ice cream). Ben and Cariann decided to take the plunge. I sent them Mini-MoonPies because they were n00bies to MoonPie goodness. They taped theirs as well and threw down the gauntlet to the NASA EDGE crew. The idea was to have several contests among different groups (even talked about pitting NASA centers against each other) and having the finals at ISDC2009. There were delays, however, in getting NASA EDGE to have their contest (Mission Madness) and also a problem in getting everyone to Orlando. (I recently sent MoonPies to NASA EDGE as well, so Blair took up the challenge.) I'd still love to see some of the NASA centers have MoonPie contests (and post video) as part of the Apollo 40 celebration. I'd also still love to see a MoonPie Smackdown between GLXP, SVC, NASA EDGE and a fourth participant at some point. This has been great fun -- I hope everyone has enjoyed it. Blair is currently looking for a coach and a trainer and promises to try his hand (and mouth, of course) at MoonPie consumption again. As far as comments concerning Blair's performance -- oh the humanity!! I provided the first set of MoonPies to the Google Lunar X PRIZE (as a surprise).

Who threw down the gauntlet and when can we expect to see this on NASA Edge? Okay, someone needs to give details on how this challenge came around!
