This seems to be a popular factoid that everyone knows, but I’ve never heard a reason why – why did the astronauts so famously drink Tang in outerspace? Did the early astronauts just coincidentally enjoy Tang? Was Tang an official sponsor of NASA? Or does Tang have some chemical property that makes it taste better in outer space than other drinks?
