CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - NASA celebrated the 40th anniversary of man's first steps on the lunar surface with a giant moon pie.
The concoction of marshmallow squeezed between two round graham crackers and dipped in chocolate is normally made in a hand-sized portion.
NASA's oversized treat was available a slice at a time to visitors Monday to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Cape Canaveral
The anniversary moon pie was 40 inches in diameter, six inches high and weighed 55 pounds. That included six pounds of chocolate and 14 pounds of marshmallow.
