UAE Astronaut makes honey sandwich in Space, Watch

UAE Astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi is captivating the online world with a captivating video showcasing his unique way of enjoying a quick snack in the International Space Station (ISS). Currently engaged in a six-month space mission, Al Neyadi shared a video clip on social media revealing how he indulges in a honey sandwich while in zero gravity.

In the video, the astronaut exhibits the intriguing behavior of honey in space. Al Neyadi is seen extracting a generous amount of Emirati honey from a bottle and placing it on a piece of bread. The honey adheres to the bread, forming a spherical shape due to the absence of gravity. After gently shaking the honey-coated bread, he folds it into a sandwich and savors the unconventional meal.

In addition to the captivating demonstration, Al Neyadi highlights the health benefits of consuming honey in space. He shares, “Honey has many benefits, especially for the health of astronauts.”

Online reactions to the video have been enthusiastic. Users express wonder at the way honey takes on a ball-like form without gravity’s influence. Some humorously remark about how leaving items in space appears hassle-free due to the lack of gravity.

The astronaut, along with his four colleagues, is gearing up for a significant milestone. They are scheduled to return to Earth on September 1, marking the conclusion of their six-month scientific mission on the ISS. Al Neyadi made history during Expedition 69 by becoming the first Arab astronaut to undertake a spacewalk.
