A Dubai Professor Has Created Something Pretty ‘Sweet’ For Space Travellers

Avatar

We’re all moving! To Mars… In 2117. Okay, it’s probably not your average relocation plans but following the UAE’s plans to build the first city on Mars, we’re probably going to need some ‘Extra’ supplies. That’s the idea behind Dubai professor, Dr Franziska Apprich’s, ‘pop’ular invention. Apprich has invented a “space gum” that has a whole host of benefits for the interplanetary traveller. 

“Chewing gum can help relieve tension, which may be an issue for those taking a voyage into the unknown. It can also help maintain oral hygiene, which is a practical concern for space travelers,” Dr Apprich explained. “The gum is all natural, so that no harmful additives are absorbed into the system. The vitamin C provides support to the immune system in what will be an unknown environment, and the silver is used to treat bacteria in the mouth to prevent gum disease. Honey delivers an energy boost, while the date paste provides flavour, and of course, a tribute to the culture of the UAE.”

The space gum contains an unbelievabubble mix of natural gum, silver particles, date paste, honey and vitamin C. Sounds a little… Chewie?
