Natty Light is Apparently the First Beer in Space, and That’s Horrible [Video]

Beer Natty Light Natural Light Space weather balloon

A few months back, two fans of popular ~~horse micturition~~ beer Natural Light (aka Natty Light) realized that to date, no beer had been sent into space. After pitching their idea to the Natty Light brewery, the pair put together a weather balloon spacecraft that would carry a can of their favorite brew to new heights. Unfortunately, it worked and now Natty Light is the first beer in space. With thousands of years of brewing history, this is what we decide to send into space? People, this is like putting Andrew W.K. on the Voyager record. We can do better, I believe in us.

Whoa whoa whoa… I agree natty light should stay earthbound, but if aliens would be cool with us if they knew we partied hard. I thought this was geekosystem, not the dean snobosystem from 80′s college comedy.

I think you’re looking at it wrong. What if the experiment was a complete failure? Better to lose this piss than some good beer.

For real. “Party Hard” is one of the great classics of our age. Seriously. I freakin love that song.

Not to mention he is bad ass during concerts. He usually lets everyone come up on stage with him. Some of the best moshing I’ve ever been in.

They should have sent a better quality beer.
