\"Everything but pineapple, that would be a serious offense in Italy.\"Pizza Night With Friends<\/p>\n
Astronauts stationed on board the International Space Station threw their own zero-gravity pizza party, as seen in a clip uploaded to Instagram by European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet.<\/p>\n
Floating pizza night with friends, it almost feels like a Saturday on Earth, Pesquet wrote in a caption. They say a good chef never reveals their secrets, but I made a video so you can be the judge.<\/p>\n
The crew was also celebrating NASA astronaut and current crew member Megan McArthurs 50th birthday. My Space Brothers went all out: quesadillas and tortilla-pizzas with real cheese! she wrote in a Monday tweet.<\/p>\n
And to get ahead of possible criticism from Italians watching back on the ground, Pesquet and the rest of the team made one notable omission while topping their pizzas.<\/p>\n
Everything but pineapple, that would be a serious offense in Italy, Pesquet wrote in a caption of the video (though its unclear whether the ISS has any pineapple on board in the first place.)<\/p>\n
Hawaiian pizza is just that controversial. But then again, the pies were made using tortillas as a base. How would that not offend Italians?<\/p>\n
The clip shows the hungry crew assembling their own single-serving pizzas with the added complexity of having pepperoni slices and tortillas floating in mid-air.<\/p>\n
The tomato sauce appears to be acting as the glue holding everything together, a critical aspect of making dinner in microgravity.<\/p>\n
In all, the end result looks pretty tasty, though its still a far cry from the kind of pizza youd get to eat back on Earth, let alone Italy.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, the station got its own oven back in 2019. The device, built by NanoRacks and Zero G Kitchen, was used in January 2020 to bake the first-ever cookies in space.<\/p>\n
Its unclear whether Pesquet and crew used the Zero G Oven to bake their pizzas but its somewhat unlikely given the fact that the cookies had to be baked for several hours, according to the BBC.<\/p>\n
Nobody has that kind of restraint, even in space.<\/p>\n
