Kevin Pang interviews NASA Astronaut Megan McArthur aboard the International Space Station about all things Space Food. Megan teaches us about the types of foods astronauts eat in space, how space food is stored, how it’s prepared and how it’s eaten.
ABOUT US: Located in Boston’s Seaport District in the historic Innovation and Design Building, America’s Test Kitchen features 15,000 square feet of kitchen space including multiple photography and video studios. It is the home of Cook’s Illustrated magazine and Cook’s Country magazine and is the workday destination for more than 60 test cooks, editors, and cookware specialists. Our mission is to test recipes over and over again until we understand how and why they work and until we arrive at the best version.

I love when they show these girls on the space station and they got this crazy hair all over the place 😂
E a bosta que não cai na água do vaso 🤔
"Cargo resupply every couple of month." Do they ever get fresh foods on the resupply module that must be eaten right away, say fresh grapes without the stems? Might be an interesting treat for the first couple of days. Just a thought.
Don't spit, and don't pull out in space.
Nobody has ever cooked in space. Let’s get real.

Too bad more young ladies don't look to Astronaut McArthur as a role model instead of the trash out there today…
Medusa in space .p
So, space is like really bad camping with a great view.
This is the coolest thing that has ever been on ATK. It might even be cooler than the time Mr. Pang admitted that oyster sauce in fried rice was pretty good.
I love how the host here nods as if it was a real live call. Almost convincing. 😆
When she said she missed hummus… it almost surprises me that it isn't on the NASA menu. Instant rehydratable hummus powder is certainly a common enough product on Earth (if inferior to freshly blended). It'd be nutrient-dense, not too messy and perfectly fine on a tortilla, maybe with some rehydrated gyro strips.
No one else was thinking she is Medusa?
I'd love to experience zero gravity one day.
Great video!
This looks sort of miserable. Awesome to have done it, but a lot to deal with every day.
Thank God for women astronauts; because sandwiches ain't gonna make themselves up there!
I wonder if there was ever an inccident where one astronaut ate another astronauts food from the frig and then started agruing about it???? Like for instance, " Who ate my cake???"
I imagine that hair floating in space would be similar to hair floating in water. I'm surprised it would still hang out behind her, rather than move in front her face, like my hair would.
MEGAN IS MY NEW FAVORITE CHEF !
Love this. It’s interesting to see the creativity of the astronauts with their limited range of food. Would love to see more in future.
This is the first episode I’ve seen with Kevin. I always enjoyed his work in Chicago.
I always love ATK videos but this one was (insert bad pun)! Awesome host and guest!
So cool! Thanks for the video!
Fabulous! So wonderful to see the challenges of space exploration
I'm so distracted by her hair lmao
Anyone here remember Space Food Sticks? A snack food from the late 60’s or early 70’s. They were a chewy stick of a sort of candy wrapped in a silver foil – inspired by the moon landing and geared towards kids.
3:27 – I laughed when she put the bag of strawberries on the fridge shelf and the strawberries floated up immediately like "Nope!"
I love how her hair radiates outward.
Interesting segment, but what a dense dingus! She tells him over and over she doesn't cook in space ,only heats up!
I like to imagine their deep freezer is just some plastic cooler hanging on outside on the dark/protected side of the station.
Really enjoy seeing Kevin but it's not the same without his dad! 🙂
question no. 2: how do they deal with all those plastic packets once they've eaten the food from inside them? i guess with 5-6 people on board, 2-3 meals a day over a few months, those plastic packets would really add up quite quickly….
how much is the ISS paying for internet??? surprised by how clear and smooth the connection is!
Amazing!
WOW! So interesting!
5:00 I love it. MRE tortillas!
Even in space, I bet there's some douche who cooks fish in the microwave 🙂
Somebody needs to show this to one Howard Walowitz…
Got to love that hair, thank you Megan………..
