A California-based startup called Savor has figured out a unique way to make a butter alternative that doesn’t involve livestock, plants, or even displacing land. Their butter is produced from synthetic fat made using carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and the best part is —- it tastes just like regular butter.

Wait. So a "butter star" is possible?

Once one is discovered, there will be a NASA mission to bake a gigantic loaf of bread and launch it at the butter star.
