Vodka tube in space
34 years ago, when Vance Brand and the other Apollo astronauts docked with the Soviet Union's Soyuz, they engaged in some historic packaging humor. From a press release on Nasa's website:
Brand recalled that the docking was carried out as if in slow motion.
"
We came together at a slow rate and we felt a little gentle bump when we docked. We looked through an optical sight to line it up. There was some relative movement between the spacecraft and then it quickly stopped," Brand said.
About three hours later, Stafford and Russian commander Alexei Leonov exchanged greetings. Stafford offered his greeting in Russian and Leonov gave his in English.
"
It was a joke among us that the Russians would have a Vodka toast in space. In orbit they had a tube with Vodka written on the side. It was really a Russian soup, called borscht. They had a good sense of humor," Brand said.

Now, thanks to a company called Go More, the vodka-tube concept is no longer a joke...
Since summer 2004 GO continuously is covered by television magazines and print media all around the world. Each of these reports generates priceless publicity. That GO is met by such enormous interest by the media proves: GO is new and unique. Not just another boring variation of some out-dated product, but a revolutionary idea that the world has not seen before.
Amongst the many that have already felt the unique vibes of GO are Paris Hilton, Pierce Brosnan, Dannii Minogue, Eva Herzigova, Jerry Hall, Sheree Wilson and David Coulthard. The media and consumers have recognized: GO has initiated an unstoppable trend that will transform the culture of drinking.
In the year 2006 GO was launched in Israel and Australia. The same year Wenger Corp. won the Chamber of Commerce's Austrian Export Award for outstanding success in exports. 2008 till today the tube drinks are seen on all high end events like the Monaco GP or the Cannes filmfestival
