English Town Sends The First Pie Into Space – But Why?

In 1961 Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space, in 1969 the USA put the first man on the moon, and in 2016 another slice of space-travel history was made in Wigan, England.

A pioneering meat and potato pie was sent into the stratosphere attached to a balloon complete with a camera and a tracking device to become the first pie in space!

You can check out video of the , ahem, historic moment below, but we have to ask – why?
