No one is going to make the journey to Mars without the help of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, according to NASA administrator Charles Bolden.

Ben and Jerry’s Burrito Is Cream on the Inside, Cone on the Outside
Everyone likes burritos, and everyone likes ice cream, and the visionary ice cream scientists at Ben & Jerry's have taken the two concepts and melded them into one creation, the "Brrr-ito."
Set to launch on April 20 for no particular reason, the Brrr-ito is two scoops of Ben & Jerry's ice cream wrapped in a "soft and chewy" waffle shell. That sounds pretty delicious in and of itself, but no self-respecting burrito would dare present itself with a single ingredient. So to keep things real, the ice cream scoops are drizzled with fudge and dusted with cookie crumbs.
You won't be able to go to your local store and just grab one on the go, however. To get your mouth on one of these hybrid desert creations you'll need to visit a Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop, where a friendly ice cream wizard will conjure you up one of a seemingly infinite number of flavor combos.
