No. It was introduced by General Mills back in 1957, before the first humans visited space. The drink mix gained fame a few years later, when NASA selected it for use aboard manned space flights.

I seem to........ remember that "they" said it was made for astronauts. But don't "they" lie all the time? LOL. I can't recall seeing Tang for a long, long time. Why would anyone need it now, with concentrate orange juice, etc? ..............

I...don't believe it was designed for NASA but the Astronauts certainly made it famous! !!

Something that is really good is to mix a tablespoon or so of Tang w/sour cream to top enchiladas! YUM!!

I know it....was used by the astronauts in space, but I kindof think it was already in existence. ?

I'm saying no. I think it was on the market and NASA realized it's good use for space!

I think... Tang was already on the market before it became the drink of astronauts ...

Tang always reminded me of Pixie Stix. As a kid I liked to "eat" a teaspoonful of the dry mix rather than add water and drink it.
