Can you drink Coke in space?

Coke became the first soft drink to be consumed in outer space, when astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger tested the “Coca-Cola Space Can” on July 12, 1985. The Coca-Cola Company also installed the ‘Space Dispenser’ on the Space Shuttle Discovery, which was the first soft drink equipment to be used in space.

What happens to Coca Cola in space?

In micro-gravity, the light gas bubbles won’t rush to the top of the liquid and escape. They will stay within the liquid. This means the astronaut will consume significantly more gas drinking a soda in space than one would drinking a soda on the ground.

What was the first soda drank in space?

Coke
NASA said, yes, “Coke Was It” in space–for at least eight hours, or until astronauts popped a Pepsi too. Space agency officials confirmed what Coke was bragging about with full-page ads in papers around the country that proclaimed: “The first soft drink enjoyed in space was a Coke.

Why don’t you burp in space?

On Earth, gravity pulls liquids and solids to down to the bottom of our digestive systems, while gases stay up top and get forced back up the esophagus as a burp. That can’t happen in space. Without gravity to separate them, “the air, food and liquids in your stomach are all floating together like chunky bubbles.

What was the first soda ever?

Dr Pepper was created in 1885 and believed to be the first soda as we know it today followed by Coca-Cola one year later. The story doesn’t end there; there have been many modifications to the way soda has been enjoyed between its invention and today.

Has Pepsi been to space?

Pepsi’s space can did not fly again, though the company did launch an oversize inflatable can (of the style used on Earth) to film a commercial aboard the Russian space station Mir in 1996. Coca-Cola continued trying to develop a drink for the astronauts.

Can u fart in space?

Surprisingly, that isn’t the biggest problem associated with farting in space. Though you’re definitely more likely to worsen a small fire when you fart, it won’t always injure or kill you. The worst part about farting in space is the lack of airflow. Let’s take a step back and remember how farting on Earth works.

What would happen if you dropped Coke on the Moon?

Within a few seconds, all the ejected coke would freeze and fall back to the lunar surface. Whatever landed on sunlit soil would then levitate, supported by a layer of vapor between it and the hot (250 F) soil until the ice was gone. Whatever landed in the shade would remain frozen and in a few hours would sublimate.

Can you drink Coca-Cola in space?

We have tested Coca-Cola (and Pepsi) in space. In 1985, we flew special cans from the manufacturers as an experiment aboard the Space Shuttle and in 1996 a Coke dispenser was flown. Soda in space is a bit problematic.

Why can’t you pour coke out of a soda can?

Once open, the coke might creep out the top due to surface adhesion, but even if it doesn’t, attempting to pour will cause it to lick around onto the side of the can, because again, gravity will be insufficient, generally, to get the poured coke to turn loose and go into a container.

What would happen if you put sugar on the Moon?

Whatever landed in the shade would remain frozen and in a few hours would sublimate. This would leave a sticky residue of sugar on the moon for some time, until solar radiation carbonized it or until the rats that stowed away in your spacecraft found it, cause you know that if anything can find a way to survive on the moon, it’ll be rats.
