A sugar cube is impervious to the vaccum of space, radiation, absolute zero and complete dehydration

Yet I can still eat it

We should be sending sugar cubes out into space.

This will incentivise horses to develop their own space program, which would lead to a space race between the species.

But how will they operate the fine machinery with their hooves? I hear you ask.

If they can pull a cart, then they can pull a lever.

It's not very impervious to water.

The sugar doesn't gut destroyed or disappear, it just changes form and once you dry it out you've got your sugar again. Much like a tardigrade
