Heyy everybody!! Today i will tell you that can pizzas be delivered to outer space or not? The answer is YESS!!

Seems pretty unrealistic right?


Yuri Usachov had to make do with salami as pepperoni did not have the necessary shelf life

The US restaurant chain Pizza Hut has announced that it has become the first company in the world to deliver a pizza to outer space.

Last month Yuri Usachov, one of the Russian cosmonauts living on the International Space Station (ISS) ate a pizza that the company had sent to him.

Taking much longer than the usual 30 minutes, the pizza rode aboard a Russian rocket used to resupply the ISS.


Nasa was furious over Dennis Tito's space trip

The Pizza Hut chain said it paid the Russian space agency about $1m (£700,000) for the promotional stunt, including footage of Mr Usachov flashing a thumbs-up after eating the pizza, and for pasting the chain's logo on a rocket last year.

Spending a long time in space has the effect of deadening the taste buds, so extra salt and spices were added to the pizza.

And salami had to be used as pepperoni lacked the necessary shelf life, growing mouldy.
