internet They did not begin to question the reality of the events. That is, in the video, the hamburger appears to have arrived in perfect condition into the stratosphere, which seems impossible, especially since it was on an exposed surface.

The stratosphere is one of the layers of Earth’s atmosphere located between the troposphere and the mesosphere. fall almost 50 kmfour times more than a commercial airliner arrives at, in addition, temperatures of -55 degrees are recorded.

Even the hamburger flew in perfect condition. “We have a burger He flew in a large industrial balloon filled with helium, with professional cameras. and a geolocation to find it when it fell 60/40 km around it,” they explain in the video.

Although there is visible evidence of this fact, At first, no one believed her. “It caught our eye. They thought it was Photoshop, that it was some kind of modification or effect and that the hamburger didn’t really exist,” they say.

“We would like to tell you that the ‘star burger’ survived this journey by going into space. But the truth is that it was not the case,” they add.

In addition to crumbling upon impact, the hamburger, having been exposed to -40 ° C, had an unattractive appearance. “This was a small step for a human, but a huge step for a burger,” the video reads.

Simple hamburger unlike mexican Its elevation exceeded 90,000 feet or 27 kilometers. However, hamburgers were by no means subjected to gravity.

Other “uncommon” things have also been sent into space, but for scientific purposeswas slime, to study the behavior of fluid (which is not water) in sub-gravitational space.

In 2007, they sent salmonellato understand how bacteria work in gravity 0 and in the same year They also launched Water Bears. The latter is a microscopic creature according to science indestructible.

after this, Spiders have also been sentLet’s see how insects behave without gravity. s In 2013 they released sperm samples from micewho remained on the International Space Station (ISS) for 9 months and returned to Earth after the experiment, the baby mice were born healthy.
