Did You Know

 

Did you know, that years ago Astronaut John Young smuggled a corn beef on rye sandwich into space?

For more information:

50 years ago this week, someone smuggled a sandwich into space - The Washington Post

Hi Sandra - and I thought they were meant to abide by the rules ... ie not take foodstuffs to other places of the world?! Interesting to know about ... cheers Hilary

News to me. I also couldn't read the link because I would have to pay The Post to read it. Sounds fascinating, though.

Andrew said...

No, but good on him. I hope it had a nice mustard spread on the bread.

CJ Kennedy said...

😺I wonder how he got that past the launch command

Valerie-Jael said...

Good idea! Hugs, Valerie

Elizabeth Seckman said...

No, I didn't! I wonder if he had it with Tang?

R's Rue said...

I did not. Love it.

Christine said...

Funny

Jeanie said...

I didn't know that. You'd think he might have smuggled something better than that!

Sandra Cox said...

EC, Sorry about that I added a different link. I gather it was rather stale by the time he went to eat it;)
Hils, And you would be correct:)
Sorry, Elizabeth. I added a different link for your viewing pleasure;)
CJ, He put it in his pocket:)

Sandra Cox said...

Val, Yes. Heh. Hugs received and returned.
Elizabeth S. Ha. Probably.
Rue, Isn't that a hoot? I came by your place again. Sorry, still can't leave a comment.
Jeanie, Definitely. I would have went with a plant-based burger. Hehe.

Love,

Sandra Cox said...

True, Heh. Me too.
J.P. Sending you hugs,
Denise, I'm thinking a plant-based sandwich would have been better. Hehehe xoxo
Jan, He must have had a strong, mischievous streak:)
Janie, My understanding is by the time he got it on board, not very:)

Lee said...

Nope...I hope he ate the crusts!!!

Birgit said...

Good for him!

Sandra Cox said...

Lee, Heh. I think the sandwich was stale at that point and got dumped.
Birgit, Sounds like a prankster, doesn't he?
