It is the crescent moon of Islam and its placement means that the ration is "Halal" or "lawful" to be consumed by the subscriber of this faith.
Amendment: This may be true of British ration packs, but I'm informed that the crescent symbol on American rations indicates preserved goods - NOT that contents are "Halal"!

What did landing on the moon have to do with the cold war?
In 1960 the "space race" began between the US and Soviets. Both worked to get to the moon first and in 1969 the US landed on the moon. The Soviets never have landed. The space race was just another outcome of the Cold War. The ability to launch a rocket has military advantages whether it has a payload for space or for military uses.

Why is the crescent moon on the c ration box?
I can only assume that the new moon represents a C for C rations. All I know is I never want to eat another one as long as I live. IMPROVING ANSWER: Could it be that this "red Crescent" symbol means that the meal is OK for observant Muslims to eat? The Red Crescent is like the Red Cross for the Muslim world. Military C-rations are often given to needy civilians in times of disaster, war, etc <><><> It DEFINITELY does NOT mean that the meal is halal (complies with dietary rules of Islam) nor that it is Kosher- many of the meals are not. And I would note that C Rations were replaced by the MRE about 15 years ago. The crescent moon symbol is simply the symbol used for all military rations, just as there is a symbol for ammunition, a symbol for medical supplies, and a symbol for POL (petrol)
