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
"you wouldn't like this mia" reminds me of when my mom used to tell us "you wouldn't like it, it's spicy" when it was a delicious treat she didn't want to share LOL
Reminds me of me and mom as well, just that I’m the one saying “you wouldn’t like it, it’s spicy” lol But I always ended up sharing with her anyways :)
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
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!
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😂
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.
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 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!
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
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❤
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.
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
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 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 😂
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
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.
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❤️
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.
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 ✨
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.😂😂
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)?
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!!!
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
watching them marvel over MREs is so funny to me! i go backpacking at least once a year and we always get the mountain house ones. but i've never seen the self heating ones before!
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.
the outfits are so cute!! I've been on a random freeze dried ice cream kick lately after not having had it for like ten years... it's just so goooooooood
Mia to this day the video of you and your mom trying fire starters from wish and just screaming about survivor makes me laugh so hard I cant breath - this video of you and mama maples eating MREs just solidifies in my mind that you should do some kind of survival video!
Y'all are so cute! I'm glad y'all enjoyed it! Being from Florida we had astronaut ice cream on many of our field trips to museums or when we went to NASA. It's a core memory for me as an adult and still grave it from time to time. Lol ❤ It's also been fun seeing my boys experience the ice cream too!
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.
Hi Mia, I am an aerospace engineer and I work on space projects for NASA and commercial companies. Your brother is right on!

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!!
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 🙋🏼♀️
YES I WOULD SIGN THAT SO FAST
Who is he? 😅 I missed that part
@@skipper7216 THANK YOU LOL

same with my mom! shes my best friend ❤

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
They also sell them at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum if you ever happen to go to DC Mia!
Mia your brother has DEFINITELY come into himself as a human. And I love that for him! He looks great🤍
"you wouldn't like this mia" reminds me of when my mom used to tell us "you wouldn't like it, it's spicy" when it was a delicious treat she didn't want to share LOL
Sounds like my husband if something new and he really likes it. “Ohh that’s terrible I’ll eat it so you don’t have to” 😂❤
Reminds me of me and mom as well, just that I’m the one saying “you wouldn’t like it, it’s spicy” lol
But I always ended up sharing with her anyways :)
unrelated question! did she mention in some part of the video why she couldn’t eat it? I think I didn’t get it
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.❤
Mia! Costco sells a prepped food bucket. You and mama maples should do a taste test!
That would be good. Good idea.

Mia and mama Maples in space would be so fun 😂
I can see mama Maples floating by laughing.

Any videos with mama maples is a winner!! ❤️❤️
Mama Maples is such a beautiful soul 🥹

You two are adorable - so fun to watch. Mom looks fantastic in this video!! ❤
OMG Tate's hair is amazing!
i love this so much!! you and mama maples are always so precious together
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!
Y'all are a hoot!
Love watching videos with Mama Maples and also loved seeing Tate!
I immediately clicked!!!!! I was so bummed we'd be getting no new video.
gosh, you two are the best duo to exist. you both never fail to make me smile 🫶🏻
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

Love any video with momma maples 🍁 ❤️ this was fun and exactly what i needed tonught 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?
