Made up of four astronauts\u2014commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen\u2014the Artemis II crew stayed busy testing the Space Launch System rocket\u2019s performance and naming lunar craters.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">And with all that work, it\u2019s no surprise the astronauts worked up an appetite. After all, space food is not exactly known for being enticing. According to a <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DW9R6CFkWHb\/?img_index=2\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DW9R6CFkWHb\/?img_index=2\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"news report\" data-node-id=\"1.1\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">news report<\/a>, the team had one very specific request upon landing: uncrusted sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cThe biggest request that they had was uncrusted sandwiches, so we have abundant amounts of those for them,\u201d said one NASA worker responsible for stocking the recovery ship with essentials.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-22\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Apparently, bread is a big no-no in space. Instead, the crew had to rely on tortillas to get its carb fix during the mission. That\u2019s because bread crumbs, while merely annoying here on Earth, can pose a real risk in space. The crumbs can float away and potentially damage equipment on the spacecraft, which is why traditional sandwiches were off the table.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Naturally, childhood favorite snack brand Uncrustables wasted no time inserting itself into the conversation, offering the astronauts a lifetime supply of its product upon their return.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-23\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Fans of the snack were noticeably impressed by the offer. \u201c*Googles* how to become an astronaut,\u201d one person commented.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cIt\u2019s hard to see other people living your dream!!\u201d joked another. \u201cI\u2019d become an astronaut just to get free Uncrustables as well,\u201d one fan wrote.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Apart from making history, it looks like the crew of Artemis II has a lot to look forward to back here on solid ground.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-24\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-u95ltk e94w1mj3\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 min read After returning safely to Earth, the Artemis II crew reportedly asked for uncrusted sandwiches.
