Hi Mia, I am an aerospace engineer and I work on space projects for NASA and commercial companies. Your brother is right on! I would add that MREs are heated on their own through chemicals, and those can’t be used 1:1 in space because we have to be really careful about all fumes and gaseous pollutants, plus MREs put out a lot of heat which can contribute to a fire hazard. Astronaut food is typically dehydrated and the crew reintroduce water and then put the food packets into small oven-type device called a Food Warmer, and that’s how they prep their hot food!
@@Adrian-Maxwell more or less, yeah! The kind of food might be different too, Tate was right about the nutrients being managed very carefully, also the food has to be relatively free of crumbs and easily contained, etc
I was wondering about crumbs. Because like the freeze dried things that get marketed as astronaut food, like the ice cream sandwiches at the end, seem to be kinda crumbley. I always thought that would be bad in space. Are there dehydrated foods that are eaten without reintroducing water?
Very interesting. So I've been told astronauts can't really have freeze dried foods, like the ice cream sandwich. Because it flakes off too easily and the particles could get into places it doesn't need to be? Is this true??
People always tell my daughter that she's crazy for being best friends with her mom, but I'm best friend with my mom as well and I couldn't be happier. I love that you have such an incredible relationship with your mom
Mia, I live where the Space and Rocket Center/Marshall Space Flight Center (NASA) is, and those ice cream sandwiches are sold like crazy here. 😂 If you would like an actual space package, I definitely have the resources!
Hello fellow hometown sharer! Can confirm the ice cream sandwiches sell like crazy, hahaha. So many times getting them as treats on a field trip to the USSRC!
yeah i know you get get some real astronaut food at the air and space museum if you have one near you, also world market sells a lot of freeze dried stuff too
Fun fact! Astronaut ice cream has actually never been eaten in space. You might have noticed when you got it out of the bag that it was all broken up, which is because they are very friable (crumbly). Basically they try to pick food that doesn’t cause a lot of crumbs because they are hard to clean up and can actually like get into hardware and cause problems sometimes. Hope I didn’t burst any bubbles, but astronaut ice cream is basically just suuuuuper good marketing haha
i live in Louisiana and after bad hurricanes, when we dont have electricity for weeks, the army will hand out MRE'S and it always cheered me up as a kid after such a bad tradgedy, cause they are so fun and always had snacks and drink mixes :)
South Texas here and same,MRE's have gotten us by after hurricanes quite a few times. My husband is addicted to the jalapeno cheese spread that comes in them and scours through them everytime hoping to find some loll😂
The ice cream sandwich bits are actual ice cream sandwiches FREEZE DRIED! It basically takes any "water" out of them, similar to dehydrating, which also expands shelf life! I've tried them before, they're soooo good!!
When we used to live in Houston, we would stock up on the freeze dried neopolitan ice cream that was sold in the Nasa gift shop. Glad it was included in their food fest!
Ohhh what are you crocheting? I just started crocheting last month and love it so much! I'm currently making my second pumpkin decor. The first one turned out so nice.
As someone who’s been in the military for 21 years, MREs are definitely something I’ve ate before. Some are good, some not so much as you guys discovered. They usually have the main meal, a drink mix, a sweet (brownie, pound cake, skittles or something), and a huge cracker with peanut butter, cheese or jelly. A full meal in one bag.
I live in Florida and when we had a bad hurricane, they handed out MREs and bottled water to everyone. Some of them weren’t too bad, but some of them weren’t very good. Considering we had no power or anything it wasn’t too bad. We survived.
You should do a video where you make Mountain House meals and see if your mom can tell which one is home made and which one was previously freeze dried!
You make me miss my mother. I remember we used to go clothes shopping and crack up in the fitting room helping each other. Thank you and Mama Maples. ❤
As a camper, I love mountain house meals. They’re expensive but so delicious and easy. **It says they’re $6.99 in the video but there twice that price where I can find them lol
This was definitely camping food and not "army". 😅 I petition for Mia and Mama Maples to try some real military MREs! My Air Force husband says the omelet will break you. 😆
My Marine Corp. husband has told me so much about their MRE's. While he was stationed in Hawaii, black sand would get in them. They called it PTA Black Pepper.
My dislexia thought you wrote “Australian food” so I understood why mama maples was dressed that way. And was so confused at why she also wrote “can’t survive in space” but also confused at Mia’s outfit lol until like 2 minutes into the video lmao
I remember when we had a really bad blizzard and people were without power for weeks, the national guard was handing out boxes of MREs. We loved watching them steam and they all came with like crackers and peanut butter or a little brownie, or other random little things
As I am non-starter in the field of physics, when that bag started smoking I was AMAZED. Some of the items remind me of "con" (as in anime- or comic- ) food. Along with actual water, I bring granola bars, nut/dried berry packets, raisons and (if I am feeling wealthy) grapes. Grapes, at least in my area of the U.S. are pricey.
Oh man, delightful. Astronaut ice cream is unironically my favorite dessert, and I buy it all the time at camping/outdoor sports stores or science centers, so it thrilled me that y’all both loved it ✨
You could make this a series and try different countries K-rations (military)! My father keeps telling me how awful his was when compulsory military service was still up here in Italy. He was particularly adamant about canned pasta being a torture device 😂
I love any video that has Mama Maples in it. I lost my mom in 2021 and I miss her every single day. Spend time with your moms, everybody. Tell them you love them.
You and your mom inspired me to make videos with my mom. I always wanted to, and never took the opportunity and now she is gone. I love watching your videos with mama❤
That facial expression when mama maples asked if you want to smell the oatmeal you can't have lol! I feel you girl, I have a million food allergies and I always get the "you wouldn't like it" lol
Back in the 70’s, there were “Space Stix”. They came in 3 flavours. Chocolate, caramel and vanilla. Looking back, they really tasted like a stick of plastic. But…….astronauts apparently ate them (doubtful) so as a kid, I begged my mom to buy them. Just a wee memory from my childhood I thought I should share with you. You’re welcome.😂😂
So cool that something like this exists out there! I have seen hikers make their own dehydration meals and beverages and I think the concept is super interesting! You should totally try making your own dehydration meals! It would be a cool video❤️
I live in Texas where we get our fair share of hurricanes. We were given MREs many years ago after we had a major hurricane and were without electricity for several days. It was nice to be able to have a hot meal that was actually decently flavored. These are very convenient to keep on hand.
Im sick rn and ive been refreshing your main channel all day lol.. so happy you're okay and were able to give us a video today!!!! this was so funny and interesting bc I've loved MRE content since I was a wee bab I thought everyone knew about these!!!
When we go camping or to festivals we take mountain house freeze dried meals and they are a lifesaver. The stroganoff and beef stew are some of my favorites but they also do a breakfast hash with chorizo and peppers that really hits after a long night too lol.
I assume you’ve seen the mythical kitchen video where they try to make MREs gourmet or whatever? Have you ever tried to make an MRE, or maybe just conceptualized meals they don’t have yet (I realize it could get pretty expensive to actually make them)?
This video brought back some fun memories from when i was a little kid... I dont know how, but my grandma somehow had astronaut food. Like, legit food and she would rehydrate it and then heat it by outing the bag in boiling water. This was back in the early '80s. Never knew how she got half the things she did, but it sure was fun!
I completely forgot I had finished this video!! SOooOoooO YAY Please enjoyyyyyy 👀♥
Love seeing Tate! ❤
Such a gift!
Omg I love it! I’m just starting the video and I’m soo excitedd
Not me being sad because of the announcement on IG but as I opened YT my day is completed as I see your video 1st in recommend 🫶 love you Mia 🥰
You can make those by using a freeze-dryer! They're hella expensive but u might want to check Harvest Right. Rosanna Pansino got one lol.

So proper idea, just not heated the same way?

@@ActualLiliCakes girl. We had the same thought at the same time. 🤯
Mama Maples looked like she was about to star in Jurassic Park and I was 100% ready for it 😂 you guys are so fun to watch together!!!
OMG, right!? Lol 😆
I thought this was going to be a Halloween costume video! 🎃 👻
Why are the outfits giving Buzz and Woody vibes?! 😂
Great video!
I was just about to say this 😂
Oh yes!!
I thought it was space cowboy??!?
Tate popping up once in blue moon going through different hair “era’s” chefs 😘 his hair is golden! Mama maples looking cowdy!
You guys are so funny. Petition for more Professor T content 🙋🏼♀️
Who is he? 😅 I missed that part

same with my mom! shes my best friend ❤
Same here!🥹 She’s my bestie and fav person for sure!❤ We also argue like besties do.😅

They also sell them at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum if you ever happen to go to DC Mia!

Tate's hair is getting so long, it looks really good! Mia and mama maples are beautiful as always
The hair genes in this family are just unfair to the rest of us
I would love a video where Mia conditions or uses a hair mask on Tate's hair! He has great hair but needs a little conditioner.❤
Who
Mia your brother has DEFINITELY come into himself as a human. And I love that for him! He looks great🤍
Mama Mias continued "wow" face is everything I needed
Mia! Costco sells a prepped food bucket. You and mama maples should do a taste test!
That would be good. Good idea.
Love how Tate was just dropped in for his MRE knowledge ❤ I needed this chaotic energy today!

Are any of those gluten-free and dairy-free?
@@marciwhitman3513no bc both of those things cause you to be medically disqualified

I can see mama Maples floating by laughing.

Another (too rare) Mia and Moma Maples video!
Edit: And Brother! What a treat. So wholesome. I loooove the interaction between you guys. Thank you.

I'm thinking Mama Maples is dressed as a space cowboy...some people call her the gangster of love. Some people call her Maurice...
She’s a joker, not a smoker, but is she a midnight toker?
Really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree
😂😂 Good one! 😁😍
@@Wonton1885 Aaaand another good one! 😂😂😘
Saammeee!!!
I love yalls relationship
Any videos with mama maples is a winner!! ❤️❤️
YAY!! Every day is a good day when Mia drops!
OMG Tate's hair is amazing!
I immediately clicked!!!!! I was so bummed we'd be getting no new video.
you can buy dehydrated space food at the National Air and Space Museum and Washington DC yeah
gosh, you two are the best duo to exist. you both never fail to make me smile 🫶🏻
Mama Maples is such a beautiful soul 🥹
I love how you guys are loving the backpacking meals!!! 😁
You should do a video where you make Mountain House meals and see if your mom can tell which one is home made and which one was previously freeze dried!
You make me miss my mother. I remember we used to go clothes shopping and crack up in the fitting room helping each other. Thank you and Mama Maples. ❤
You two are adorable - so fun to watch. Mom looks fantastic in this video!! ❤
You 2 make me miss my mom.😢😊❤, we use to laugh and carry on together all the time, you 2 are so fun.

Hi Mia!!!!! I love you so much been here since the beginning! ❤️🇨🇦
Watching Mia and Mamma Maples, DELIGHTFUL!!!💘
Y'all are hilarious. Love yall😂
Love you Mia and Mama Maples 😊❤
MRE, dehydrated camping food, and space food are literally my special interest topics 😂
I assume you’ve seen the mythical kitchen video where they try to make MREs gourmet or whatever? Have you ever tried to make an MRE, or maybe just conceptualized meals they don’t have yet (I realize it could get pretty expensive to actually make them)?
“Come home safely, ya hear 🤠” -Mama Maples, being iconic as always
This video brought back some fun memories from when i was a little kid... I dont know how, but my grandma somehow had astronaut food. Like, legit food and she would rehydrate it and then heat it by outing the bag in boiling water. This was back in the early '80s.
Never knew how she got half the things she did, but it sure was fun!
If every child had a mother like Mia's mom...The world would be an amazing place❤
Watching Mia discover MREs was so sweet; being in the military, I’ve never actually had the privilege of heating them up 😂but I loved watching this!!!
