The California rocket company that launched a spacecraft into orbit and successfully returned it to Earth this week has revealed its secret payload - a wheel of cheese. Space Exploration Technologies on Thursday released photographs of the wheel in a container that was bolted to the floor of its Dragon capsule for Wednesday's test flight from Florida, reports "THE LOS ANGELES TIMES".SpaceX says the flight of the round of Le Brouere was a tribute to the Monty Python comedy team, which had a famous cheese shop sketch.
