Learn How to Make a PB&J in Space

Looks like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are just as popular in outer space as down on planet Earth.

Chris Hadfield, the Canadian astronaut who rocketed (I had to go there) to viral stardom with his videos describing life in space, has now begun a series in space cooking. His first foray into zero gravity food prep is a classic -- PB&J.

Well, kind of. Turns out bread it too crummy (like, too many actual crumbs) for space, so astronauts sub in tortilla. Hadfield also trades honey for jelly, so he actually ends up with a PB&H taco.

And the video gets interesting when the tortilla floats away and Hadfield has to go bouncing through the International Space Station to retrieve it.
