Getting to explore space sounds pretty darn cool, but the experience comes with many sacrifices. Sure, time away from family must be rough, but one of the most heartbreaking losses is having to leave delicious pizza behind on Earth.
Paolo Nespoli, an Italian astronaut who’s currently orbiting our planet aboard the International Space Station, missed pizza so much that he boldly brought it up to his boss during a live streamed public event.
The result? Pizza in space
According to a tweet from Nespoli, his boss delivered the ingredients needed to construct some out of this world pizza pies. Fellow Expedition 53 crew member, astronaut Randy Bresnik, uploaded a minute-long video of the assembly process.
We all know Earth pizza — in all its hot, melty, oily goodness — is great. But space pizza? Well, just see for yourself.
When you really, really miss pizza… you CASUALLY mention it to the International @Space_Station Boss during a live public event ? Thank you Kirk for surprising us with unexpectedly delicious pizzas! #VITAmission pic.twitter.com/WstvG3IKr1
