New Delhi: British supermarket chain Iceland Foods recently sent a ‘chicken nugget’ into space to mark their 50th birthday celebrations.
This is the first time that a chicken nugget, a juicy chicken snack, has been sent to space rather than missiles and rockets.
According to reports, the ‘chicken nugget’ reached nearly 1.10 lakh feet above the Earth in just 45 minutes.
The chicken snack then returned to earth with the help of a parachute.
Watch this video to see how the ‘chicken nugget’ was thrown into space:

I thought "there MUST have been chicken nuggets in space, they send Americans up all the time" so I looked up all the known NASA menus…
They have sent chicken patties (larger, round), chicken teryaki & similar, but never nuggets. Well done! You beat America in this space race.
