What else are they gonna do when they have no obvious talents and need to put out clickbait youtube videos?Noooooo OMG people don't do this!!!
When we were doing Mars mission studies, back in the '90's, we tried three year old MRE's to see if they were palatable, because that's about how long the round-trip mission would be. Not exactly gourmet, but perfectly edible. Huntsville, AL has a NASA center in the middle of an Army base, because when NASA was created in 1958, rather than moving the test stands and such, they just drew a line and said "this part of the base now belongs to NASA". So it was easy to find some MRE's at the local surplus store.Noooooo OMG people don't do this!!!
There's this myth that MREs have shelf lives of decades, or even longer. It's actually only like 3 years! 5 tops, if it's been kept refrigerated.
