"According to Young, his contraband corned-beef sandwich was thanks to astronaut Wally Schirra, who had it prepared at a restaurant in Cocoa Beach before Gemini 3 launched. Schirra was well known as a practical joker. Young said Grissom was 'bored' with the official menus that they had practiced with in training, and packing a sandwich for the trip 'seemed like a fun idea at the time.'

It was not, as it turned out, quite so fun. When the Gemini astronauts got hungry, Young pulled out the smuggled sandwich. In the transcripts of the Gemini 3 mission, Young tells Grissom, 'Let's see how it tastes. Smells, doesn't it?' When Grissom took a bite, 'crumbs of rye bread started floating all around the cabin,' he told Life.

Grissom put the sandwich in his pocket for the duration of the flight, Young remarking 'It was a thought anyway… Not a very good one.'

It’s possible for tiny crumbs like that to pose a big threat during spaceflight—they can fly off and get wedged in any of the many pieces of equipment that keep a spacecraft running."

Astronaut Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom by NASA on The Commons Via Flickr: Astronaut Gus Grissom, the command pilot of the first crewed mission of Project Gemini, is shown in the Gemini-Titan 3 (GT-3) spacecraft just before the hatches are secured prior to launch. Grissom and his pilot, astronaut John W. Young, made three orbits of Earth during the GT-3 mission, in four hours and 53 minutes. Virgil I. Grissom was born on April 3, 1926, in Mitchell, Indiana. After serving in the Korean War, Grissom studied aeronautical engineering and then completed Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, California. In 1959, he was chosen as one of NASA's first seven astronauts, known as the Mercury Seven. He became the second American in space on his Mercury-Redstone 4 suborbital flight on July 21, 1961. Grissom was named to serve as command pilot for the AS-204 mission, the first 3-man Apollo flight. He and his crewmates died on January 27, 1967, in the Apollo spacecraft flash fire during a launch pad test at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Photo number: S65-23489 Date taken: March 23, 1965

Lamborghini 350 GT 3 Posti, 1964, by Touring. The 350 GT was Lamborghini's first series production car (prior to this they had made tractors). The bodywork was fabricated by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera and the majority of the 120 350 GT models they made were 2 seaters but they made 6 cars with a third seat set in the middle of the car behind the front two.
