During a recent SpaceX webcast, it was revealed that a banana has been placed inside the Starship spacecraft, set to be launched into space. The hosts of the webcast were seen sporting banana-emblazoned t-shirts, adding a touch of whimsy to the event.
The decision to include a banana in the spacecraft was explained as a nod to the fruit's long-standing use as a quick visual comparison tool. The SpaceX team felt it was fitting to bring this iconic yellow fruit on board the Starship.
