On March 23, 1965, Gus Grissom and John Young prepared to blast off into space, on the Gemini III capsule.
One of the objectives of their mission was to determine how astronauts could eat, (mess-free) in space.
The cuisine on the Gemini III kinda sucked – consisting of squeezy tubes and plastic packages.
Unimpressed by the menu, prior to blasting off, John smuggled a Corned Beef on Rye onto the capsule.
A few hours into their mission, John unwrapped the contraband sandwich – and offered Grissom a bite.
To their horror, they quickly realized crumbs from the sandwich were not conducive to zero-gravity conditions and were scattering everywhere!
(Loose crumbs drifting through the cabin could easily have lodged themselves inside critical instrument panels – and the result could have proven fatal.)
Needless to say, NASA harshly reprimanded Young and introduced strict protocols for future missions!
What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
Not much, really!
