Can astronauts drink soda in space?
Yes! U.S. astronauts aboard Challenger’s 1985 flight drank Coke and Pepsi from special cans. Other astronauts have enjoyed corned beef sandwiches, hot dogs, graham crackers, and Life Savers. At Mir station in 1988, French cosmonaut Jean-Loup Chretien treated fellow cosmonauts to 23 gourmet foods from a French chef, including compote of pigeon with dates and dried raisins, duck with artichokes, oxtail fondue with tomatoes and pickles, and beef bourguignon. Now that’s fine dining! Is there such a thing as a funny bone? The funny bone exists in your body, but it’s not a bone at all! The funny bone is a part of the ulnar nerve located at the back of the elbow. If you accidentally bump this area it can cause a tingling sensation toward the front of your forearm. This tingling or dull pain is caused by the ulnar nerve bumping up against the humerus, the long bone that starts at your elbow and goes up to your shoulder. Although it might feel weird, tapping your funny bone doesn’t do any damag
