Soggy cereal and men on the Moon

On April 17, I posted "It turns out there are some legitimate uses for 'AI' after all," which is just an image: a poster for the James Bond movie Moonraker with the title changed to Moonquaker and Roger Moore's silver spacesuit replaced with a silver Quaker costume. The name Quaker is closely associated with oatmeal, and the first comment on that post said, "I don't get it. Everyone loves oats. But they don't wanna eat oats grown on the moon?"

Oatmeal is a kind of breakfast cereal. Specifically, it is a hot or wet cereal, as opposed to a cold, dry cereal such as corn flakes.

Today, I read this on p. 119 of The Strange Fascinations of Noah Hypnotik. One of the characters says, "You know how people use putting a man on the moon as their benchmark for what's possible?" and then gives a few examples of the form "We can put a man on the moon, but we can't . . . ." The first example he uses is ". . . but we can't keep cereal from getting soggy."
