Astronauts show how to make pizza in space

Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Astronauts at the International Space Station created a video of themselves making pizza in zero gravity.

Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli tweeted that he "casually" told ISS chief Kirk Shireman that he missed pizza and Shireman managed to get pizza ingredients into space.

The social media-friendly astronauts then recorded themselves making several personal-size pizzas as the ingredients floated in the air against a backdrop of high-tech space equipment.

"Flying Saucers of the edible kind," tweeted American astronaut Randy Bresnik. "Pizza Pie created from scratch, the IPDS (Intergalactic Pizza Devouring Squad) says 12 thumbs up!"
