Can you eat garlic bread that has been to the edge of space?
In short: Tom Scott documents a bizarre experiment involving a piece of homemade garlic bread launched into the stratosphere. This video tracks the journey of the bread as it reaches an altitude of 35 kilometers before returning to Earth, where the team concludes the project by consuming the space-faring snack.
The project originated from a casual pub conversation and evolved into a logistical challenge. The team attached the garlic bread to a balloon, which carried the food to the stratosphere, reaching an altitude of 35 kilometers. A protective box ensured the bread survived the flight and could be recovered after its descent back to Earth.
Upon retrieval, the team proceeded to eat the bread. The final verdict on the flavor profile of the high-altitude experiment was simply that it tasted cold.
