Ever wonder what it’s like to make a sandwich in space? Well, operating in zero gravity can cause your meal to fly away like an alien UFO. In a video posted by NASA on YouTube, astronaut Shane Kimbrough shows exactly how to put together, albeit, prevent slices of bread from weaning away.

The most important element remains not the bread or a jar of peanut butter, but a simple tape. Yes, the adhesive on it keeps things from flying away and comes in handy while preparing a meal of sorts.
