What If You Dropped a Steak From Orbit?
What If You Dropped a Steak From Orbit?
Ever had a freshly cooked steak, delivered straight from the International Space Station? It’s not going to be what you might expect. Is it possible to fry a steak in space? How long would it take to give it that perfect crust? And what side dish should you go with?

Red meat eaters :my time has come
One time one person to get us in space named Rana he did jump and throw the steak and he has a jet pack to get to the ISS
Idk but I predicted it would destroy the Earth…again
When i saw this i was like: Hows someone gonna die from a steak. But then I remember this channel makes you die from anything
1st day of asking for what if neptune was not a gaa
The steaks have never been higher.
Make a What’s If someone made a FLDSMDIFR
Foody questions falling
Would it even be eatoble
Bizarre episode
I eat nice cuts damn near raw anyway
but why
What would happen if you farted in your spacesuit?
That guy’s expression at 0:28 is me whenever I cook a perfect steak!
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs scene at the roofless restaurant
i got here because i actually did just ask "….for some reason im curious now….someone figured out the science behind slap thermodynamics and cooked a chicken via slapping…..well…..falling things heat up due to air friction…..how long would a steak have to fall at terminal velocity in a normal earth atmosphere, in order to be cooked perfectly when it hits the ground?" on a video where in the 1800’s meat randomly fell from the sky.
Huge argument between Earth and Mars breaks out. It’s just 1 steak, just calm down.
The Level anxiety of Losing Everything in space
Brain: Jump Grab it
Body: Noo!!
Brain: Just Jump and grab it It’ll be fun!! C’mon
Body: No
After 5 Mins
Body: Did You Do it?
Brain: Yeah.
Body: What did it costs?
Brain: Everything.
Wouldn’t the steak burn up in the atmosphere and disintegrate?
Nice…
Well Done! 😉
Very random
In the year one it’s a really really really really really really really really really really really really long time ago
WHO THE FAWK ASKED THIS QUESTION
I wonder what would happen if you threw a burger from the international space station or french fries or a hotdog
Yes finally I wonder if you could fry a burger A the international space station
I never knew I wanted to know this
Me watching a dude talk about dropping steak from orbit instead of doing Homework.
How yu know I wanted to see this
ok so correct me if im wrong but im pretty dang sure a cow cant even reach 6 times the speed of sound without being nearly torn apart plus dropping anything from space that a average human can carry should just vaporize before it even comes close to reaching the ground
Ew steak
So astroid becomes ashes and a steak doesn’t?
If rocks vapourise falling from space, so steak would’nt even hit earth
What if the price when to 900$
Meaty-or
That why I have no friends
*Me: Hears Loud Sounds*
*Goes Outside*
*A Steak In The Floor Impacted*
*Me: Atleast We Dont Die*
Tf
It’s not btw there would be like acid on it Not safe to eat
2:34 I think you’ll drop it down from the troposphere
You’ll have delicious space diner
Then u won’t need to roast or fry it down here
