Part of a series of unexpected food facts, CDA have put together twenty food fact cards that will blow you and your friends' minds. This card refers to the story of how astronaut John Young smuggled a...
corned beef sandwich onto the space shuttle. He attempted to eat it but quickly decided it was a bad idea as it was breaking up in the zero-gravity conditions. This could've been more perilous than you think, food crumbs could end up floating into sensitive areas of the spacecraft and cause damage. Nearly 60 years on, astronauts have pretty much figured out how to eat in space and NASA continue to avoid any corned-beef mishaps.
