Now, even astronauts can get a delivery from Uber Eats.

Japanese entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa teamed up with the company to make the first Uber Eats delivery to astronauts on the International Space Station. According to a press release, the delivery was made as part of Maezawa’s 12-day orbit.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said, "One small handoff for Yusaku Maezawa, one giant delivery for Uber Eats! We're over the moon to have helped make our first successful delivery to space. Our goal is to help people go anywhere and get anything, so we're proud to serve the astronauts at the International Space Station."

The CEO continued, "Yusaku Maezawa gets a thumbs up on this delivery, even though it took a bit longer than the usual 30 minutes to arrive."
