For the ride up, SpaceX stashed chocolate-vanilla swirl ice cream inside.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just awesome.&lt;p&gt;The mission was a success. The satellite maker&apos;s loss was covered with insurance money, the ISS stays up in the sky, engine-out capability proven, subsequent launch contracts remain in place from both NASA/the satellite maker - and the ISS astronauts get home-made chocolate ice cream! Win-win-win.&lt;p&gt;The only entity that got screwed was the insurance company, but that was a risk they were willing to take and were duly paid for doing so.</text></comment>
