- Today, we are eating like astronauts!
- Space really scares me.
I think what would make me like it more
is if I could have some Chipotle up there?
- You know, I don't exactly know what it means
to eat like an astronaut.
- It means freeze-dried foods that aren't as good
as the versions they're trying to be.
- I grew up like everybody else,
wanted to be an astronaut.
So, I think to be able to kinda eat
like one today is pretty cool.
- [Assistant] That's the breakfast and snacks.
- [Kelsey] Wait, what?
- Oh man, this is, what is this?
- This is a joke?
What am I supposed to do with this?
- I don't know what I'm looking at.
I was expecting a crunch.
- [Kelsey] Yikes!
- (sarcastically) Bring on the rest of the food,
that was so great.
- [Kelsey] Aw yeah, ice cream!
- Yay!
- It says, "Yes, this is real ice cream!"
Little aggressive.
- This is the strawberry flavor.
Ahh, still delicious!
- I'm ready to eat.
- [Kelsey] What do you think this is, Hugh?
It's freeze-dried oatmeal.
- What'd you call it?
- [Kelsey] This is what the astronauts eat in space.
- Alright, got my little blueberries in there
and they look like chocolate chips.
- I don't know if the water was supposed to be hot.
- I feel like this is trying to be good healthy food
and it's just, I can't take you seriously!
All the blueberries floated to the top.
- This could grow on me!
The strawberries were a great addition.
- An update, this isn't that bad.
It just tastes like instant oatmeals.
I wouldn't pick this over, you know, my McMuffin,
but tastes good.
- [Curtis] Let's read some astronaut facts!
- Meals are typically eaten on trays that are attached
to the wall or onto the astronaut's lap.
Makes sense.
- Most meals and beverages travel to space
in dehydrated form so they weigh less.
So, you pack more!
- However, some snacks (like granola, nuts, cookies, etc.)
travel as-is, ready to eat, and are considered
"Natural Form Foods."
- Can you have alcohol in space?
If you can't, I don't wanna go.
(upbeat music)
Here's the thing, I've eaten cat food in videos before,
like I've had worse in my mouth, you know what I'm sayin'?
- I'm gonna smell it first.
It smells okay!
Here we are!
Puttin' it in, that seems like too much water.
- [Friend] What's that supposed to be?
- [Kelsey] Chicken and rice question mark?
- Oh, I mean, I'd believe that.
- It's not terrible.
- The chicken's actually not bad, the rice, however,
feels like I'm chewing on tiny shards of plastic.
- This could work.
- Yeah, no, you know what?
I would lose like 10 pounds in space though,
that's pretty good.
- I waited a little longer and the noodles are softer,
it's much better.
- I can always count on this fuckin' weird
ice cream nonsense.
- [Curtis] Let's read some astronaut facts!
It takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes to rehydrate
and heat up a typical meal in space.
Wait, that's kinda crazy.
- What the fuck, I ain't got that kinda time today.
- That's a lot of pre-planning before you wanna get full.
- Diets are designed to give astronauts 100%
of their recommended daily allowance
of vitamins and minerals, as well as calorie needs.
See, I'd like that.
I feel like we're overeating down here.
- I mean, I always go over my caloric intake
pretty much every day.
Uh-oh.
- Alright, so this is the end of space day.
- I'm finally back to eating normal human food.
That food just wasn't enough, it wasn't up to par.
- [Friend] Tell them what you ate.
- I ate a pizza for dinner.
- Yeah, towards the end of the day, I crashed.
So, I had to eat and the turkey burger
was callin' my name.
We're still on Earth, we're not astronauts.
- I'd fuckin' die in space, for sure.
I would for sure starve to death.
- I caved, I'm sorry.
Sorry I can't go to space!
