    John, did you wear that t-shirt knowing what it says? It is quite appropriate for the occasion.

    It's not everyday that you get to see a food critic review of space vittles, especially on a tech blog. Excellent stuff.


    And, I now know what to stock up on when the zombies rise, or I need to take a trip to Alpha Prime.

    @Kaiser-Machead: For a trip to Alpha Prime I'm sure these would be excellent, but in a Zombie attack where you may have to be a bit more active, the MRE's with their higher calories maybe a better choice to give you the energy you need to survive the zombie apocalypse... and MRE's are just as good (and/or bad) as Space Rations.

    @Rabid Penguin: Good point. Any auto shop you know of that can convert a Dodge Challenger into a bullet/zombie/fire proof death car that can mow through them? If so, that'd be awesome.

    yeah a good combination in an air tight compartment for 6 weeks...


    and that is why NASA will not hire you as their astro men.

    @tande04: @PenitentPenguin: @j05hu4: Forgive the post. Reading it on my G1, it is plausible that I scrolled past that section on accident, prior to posting.


    That said, I thank you for your cynical remarks. It is good to see that said cynical commenting came from those who have no stars.


    Back to the MREs: While the person eating them might think of many of these items as average at best, I'd argue that eating these items, when placed in a scenario where you choose between this and a Goat's head, has you suddenly thinking that these items are bona-fide gourmet at the right times.


    What this article doesn't mention is that Astronauts and troops alike actually have recipes that are commonly shared back and fourth that improve the experience of consumption.


    I challenge the Gizmodo writers to try those items again, this time with the recipes that are shared.
