The big news in the food delivery industry in the past two days is that Uber Eats has become the first food delivery platform to deliver food to space.

Yesterday, Uber officially announced to the public that Uber Eats has recently successfully completed a takeaway from the earth to space, delivering a meal to the astronauts in the space station.The "driver" who delivered the food was the work of Japanese billionaire Maezawa Yuzawa.

Maesawa was the first person to buy a ticket to enter space.In this special delivery, he, as a "super takeaway", floated into the International Space Station at 12:11 a.m. Eastern Time on December 9, bringing the astronauts ready-to-eat Japanese cans suitable for eating in space.

You may be curious, what is in the can?There are four cans, including braised pork, beef with sweet sauce, miso mackerel and bamboo shoot stewed chicken.Afterwards, the astronauts and Maesawa enjoyed a feast of Japanese materials while enjoying the panoramic view of the earth.

A small step for mankind, a big step for takeaway?

This time, the takeaway arrived in Maezawa after a nearly 9-hour rocket trip. Uber Eats paper bags appeared on the International Space Station, spanning a total of 399 kilometers.In this regard, the CEO of Uber said that this is the first time that humans have successfully sent non-space-carrying food into space, and he is proud to serve the astronauts of the International Space Station.The company's goal is to help people deliver food to any place.

Of course, in a sense, this sentence can also be understood as "a small step for individuals, a big step for capitalism."

Maezawa himself said in an interview with the Associated Press that the trip to the sky cost about 8000 million US dollars. According to his previous tweets, he will donate money in space next.Maezawa also bought all the seats for Space X's first circumnavigation flight planned for 2023. I don't know what will be the next time he will take it with him?

Uber Eats goes to heaven, but users on earth have something to say👇

Just as Uber Eats announced its official tweet that it had sent food to space, users on the ground exploded.The sharpest comment came out first: "Take care of the guests on the ground first."

Other users also said:

"So you guys are doing this now, but my takeaway was messed up midway."

"You can't get Uber takeaways 5 miles away from my house."

"Goose girl! Uber Eats can go to heaven, but of the 4 takeaways I ordered this month, 3 of them were either late or late, and the food was frozen..."

There is also a ruthless person who directly dumped a video in the comment area. The McDonald's drink just ordered was half spilled, and the takeaway bag was basically wet. It is estimated that even the burger has become a Coke burger.What everyone sees here is an animated picture. In the original video, there is also a deep sigh, and you can feel speechless and desperate across the screen.

Those who have complained about it will have to explain it. The picture that was thrown may be able to answer 99% of users’ doubts about why takeaways are always late 👇

The ridiculous voices were also mixed in. Someone joked: "Billionaires also have to condescend to make a living by delivering food. It seems that the economy is indeed difficult."

There is also a prophet who made an amazing prediction in advance:

Hello, Starbucks is about to enter a spaceport near you

In the United States, Uber has gradually become synonymous with food delivery instead of car-hailing

Chinese people who have used Uber Eats have probably sighed in some ways. They are the best sellers at home and abroad when it comes to ordering takeaways. They are cheap and delicious, and the food delivery is fast and on time.But in the United States, ordering a takeaway via Uber can sometimes be a luxury.

It took eight or nine hours for the platform to send takeaways to space. Thinking about it, it’s really efficient. Don’t you see the rush hour of dinner in big cities, waiting for takeaways for 2-3 hours, that’s a commonplace meal.However, Uber Eats in the United States just saved the car-hailing business with its meal delivery service amidst the scolding, and it can be regarded as a model of modern business.

Unlike DoorDash, Uber Eats is a half-way renunciation of "Is you hungry in the US". The brand exposure value is greater than the practical value of delivering food to the sky this time.But earning enough eyeballs and becoming the first takeaway platform to go to space, this advertisement is worth it, and it has further solidified the habit of Uber ordering, even though Doordash has almost occupied more than half of the business market.

It is said that in the future Uber may also cooperate with Bed Bath & Beyond and Buybuy Baby, so that parents can directly order diapers, baby wipes, first aid kits, bath toys and other babies from these two brands in a total of thousands of stores across the United States. Supplies, etc., and then delivered to the baby's door.

Juan is thinking about changing, what else do you want Uber to give you?
