Is a hot dog a sandwich? Its one of the internets greatest debates. Stalwarts of both sides have been arguing for years about whether tube meat in a bun is indeed a sandwich, but what we all failed to realize is that NASA settled this back in 1970 during the Apollo 13 mission. <\/p>\n
This back-and-forth commentary from April of 1970 is being discussed on Reddit, but few are realizing the huge ramifications of a simple lunch in space. On a week NASA unveiled the discovery of seven earth-like planets, this might be the greatest revelation of all. <\/p>\n
It should be mentioned that this conversation is absolutely, 100 percent real. It can be found on page 115 of a 930 page transcript held in NASAs archives. It clearly, and in no uncertain terms, shows one of the crew telling ground control in Houston he enjoyed a hot dog sandwich. <\/p>\n
We absolutely must accept this to be an objective reality. I personally never believed a hot dog to be a sandwich, but none of us can be so fastened to our beliefs that we refuse to budge when someone clearly more intelligent than us shatters our reality. <\/p>\n
NASA astronauts are some of the smartest people on the face of the earth. They understand engineering, astrophysics science the likes of which mortal humans rarely dabble. If they say a hot dog is a sandwich, then darn it a hot dog is a sandwich. <\/p>\n
Those in the not sandwich camp will continue to cling to the 2015 ruling by the National Hot Dog and Sausage council that a hot dog is categorically NOT a sandwich, but trying to hold that argument up against a freaking astronaut is a fools folly. <\/p>\n
There are moments in this life where we must all accept our reality has been torn asunder. This is one of those moments. Kudos to the believers in the definitely a sandwich camp, because you were right. The rest of us have been proven false prophets. <\/p>\n
NASA, thank you for keeping this historical record, but you really could have saved the internet a lot of time by settling this years ago. <\/p>\n
