Food in Space with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Alton Brown, and Guests

[@sonkamehameha1572]

ALTON!!! Dude damn near stole the show for me this time. I've watched Good Eats when it was released when I was 6 years old and since then looked at cooking as a science lab. Thank you sir!🤘🙏🔥🔥🔥

[@AlecMac]

I've always loved both Neil deGrasse and Alton Brown. It's amazing watching 2 of my favourite TV nerds together onstage.

[@Zaradorian]

for real

[@GargantuanBreadfruit]

One of the funniest (and most interesting) episodes yet. Came for Alton Brown but stayed for Dr. Johnson.

[@tomadkins2866]

Same here. I would love to have a conversation with her! It appears that Alton has some pretty awesome people behind the scenes that most people don't know about. It was awesome to meet her, especially on Star Talk of all places. This episode checked quite a few boxes for me, Lol.

[@kayanims]

Neil has learned so much from Chuck that he is now so much fun! He makes learning enjoyable

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

He's funnier than the hired comic

[@jeffnolan7392]

Neil makes it known his school days were marked with reports that his "behavior bordered on the disruptive". I think they were being nice to him because he got good grades. He's a class clown. They're usually the smartest. They clown around out of boredom. I did the same thing.

[@jeffnolan7392]

@@EmpyreanLightASMR The guy couldn't get a word in edgewise. Also, Chuck is about up to a BA in General Science by now. It makes the jokes funnier.

[@MrSen4lifE]

@@jeffnolan7392 I think Neil mostly interrupted with interesting, or at least humerous, questions. So everyone has an opinion.

I was at this show almost 2 years ago! Had a spectacular time, can't wait to watch this again!!

[@ejmtv3]

damn I thought this was recent. I was excited

[@AndrewNiccol]

2 years? Why wait that long to upload?

[@ircjesselee]

This was reminiscent of the old Star Talk Live episodes you filmed in theaters. I loved those and miss them. Totally different energy and form of entertainment. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon so you can do more live episodes.

Much better intro. Much less irritating on the dB clipped to distortion and blaringly compressed mid-high end sound frequencies of the slightly recent orange nebula galaxy themed intro lol

[@LukeSumIpsePatremTe]

I liked the older better.

[@STST]

I prefer the at home pod casts now tbh. This feels quite impersonal. Just a spectator rather than feeling like Neil is literally on the end of the line talking with you.

CONGRATULATIONS NEIL! Finally an “Influencer” of importance has dared suggest the necessary paradigm to achieve Level One Civilization status. COHESIVE PLANETARY COOPERATION. Make it an educational motto moving forward. It needs to be “The Narrative”. 🙏🏾

yo i almost woke up everyone sleeping in my house from laughing so hard watching neil get peer pressured lmao, i loved this

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

"I think that... everybody needs to pay a heckuva lot [of] attention to what they put in their pie-hole. We need to be very watchful of what we're doing; we need to be more aware of where it's coming from, who's growing it, how far it's being shipped, and what kind of resources go into it. That means we're going to have to do a lot more work. We have to do more due diligence about what we eat, because it has a very, very specific and direct effect on what kind of resources we're gonna have to work with ... to colonize the rest of space with. We do have to maintain home, and we need to be better at it." ~ Alton Brown Freaking brilliant, perfect, and 100% *TRUE!* I'm saving this quote, as it's the absolute best I've ever heard this issue described, hands down! ❤❤ 👏👏 ❤❤ 👏👏 ❤❤ 👏👏 ❤❤

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

If anyone knows what comes after "... what resources we're gonna have to work with..." and before "...to colonize the rest of space with," I'd love to know. There's no closed captioning available for this video, and I played it over & over about 25 times, and _still_ couldn't decipher anything that made sense. If you could leave a comment here with what you think he said, or maybe if they put captions on it later & it makes sense then, I'd love to have the whole quote intact!

[@Synthwave89]

How does one attend an event like this? Phenomenal work Dr. Tyson and guests.

[@MarcelHuguenin]

Great episode, loved the expertise of the ladies in particular. Thanks Startalk!

Thanks Neil, after a long day this was needed. Thank you very much. Happy Thanksgiving from Canada.

[@Xpsblue77]

Man! I was not expecting this to be this good considering it was all about "just food". But as i saw it, i'm glad i was wrong. Well done StarTalk and Thank you.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

I'm not super into sports but I get drawn into the Cosmic Queries sports editions because it's all fascinating. I knew this would be the same. It sounded meh... but I trust Neil, and it was worth it!

25:22 can't believe they missed the punchline "her restaurant is to die for"

[@KenPurcell]

Where was Vicki Kloeris? I did not realize she had retired from NASA. Had the pleasure of chatting with her many times at NASA events.

[@helmuttun]

She said "that sounds like college" when the comedian was joking about rectal fun

[@katiekins17]

[@zaqskdroid]

Dr. Arielle Johnson cool. Hope she will be on startalk again

[@STST]

I actually prefer the at home podcast shows now tbh. I just don't feel so "in the conversation" as I did with shows like this. You feel like a spectator and not like you're there with the gang

[@ulissedazante5748]

There is around an official manual of US Army Quartermaster about evolution of rations in WWII - from early can and hard tack to the famous K-ration. Many problems were the same we have in space: that food had to be light, stable, keep well, offer nutrients. But the perfect food was useless if the people didn't want to eat it, or picked just a part and not the bilanced full amount

[@thanos879]

uhh. I'm on my laptop and it's telling me "This video is unavailable on this device"

[@21972012145525]

Same for my phone. I just watched half the episode an hour ago with no issue! Came back to watch it a bit more and am now getting this message! Hopefully they will fix it

[@21972012145525]

Fixed!

[@christopherwright6745]

Neil's last words were probably the most inspiring part of his whole thing.

[@JTonyArts]

I’m sure someday that comment will be absolutely true.

[@billb5732]

1) Spirulina is an algae with a ton of nutrition, including protein. NASA already carries spirulina as one of their foods. I'm surprised that Dr Douglas did not discuss that. Can they grow spirulina in space? 2) Chickens are only slightly larger than rodents, and everybody likes them. Plus chickens lay eggs, which most people enjoy as well. Wouldn't it be much more efficient to raise chickens in space than to try to raise a cow? Can chickens live on spirulina? 3) With all of the smart talent on this panel, how come the above points were not covered? They seem so obvious. Bonus) Except for the pepperoni and cheese, pizza is mostly vegetarian. Would be awesome if they could grow pizza ingredients in space.

[@iwill6002]

Chuck would have been hilarious in this!

Tangy Ants. This is the best thing I have heard in weeks.

Give the ant jelly a fancy name and high price point and fancy people will insist on having it.

[@brianjones6500]

Lol at Dr. Johnson's reaction to the idea of using swarms of bees. Priceless.

[@vybzoocardo]

O think most of the problems you guys outlined, the solutions can be found right here in Jamaica 🇯🇲. From variety of foods to, more spicy foods, sugar can and food that has a very long shelf life etc. Jamaica can suffice most of these kind of resources

[@haakenhaakensen1569]

Why did they not let the NASA Dr. get a word in edgewise? They asked some interesting questions about a food race with the Russians, about Szechuan peppercorns, about flavors and variety and so forth and never let her answer any of the questions.

[@jonathanlatour-lavoie9437]

I was asking myself the same question! They interrupt her soo much! :(

[@kd1s]

Interesting! I once did a contract doing grocery scoring. It was when I discovered we humans are pretty much omnivores. Items like ground squirrel, raw polar bear etc. The other thing we figured out if the item had salt, sugar, or fat in it the score of the item would plummet dramatically. Take for example broccoli by itself scored high, but add cheese to it and the score went from 94 to 25. Needless to say the company is no longer around. Regarding mac and cheese yeah milk, butter, flour, cheese, grainy mustard, nutmeg and once in awhile chopped up lobster or shrimp.The one food I know is the potato - can't really eat it raw but bake it, boil it, mash it and we get mashed potatoes that are oh so good.Or the tomato that and the potato are members of the nightshade family.

[@AMVH2012]

It's nice to be able to see StarTalk Live after listening to it.

Actually strangely, I've had a doctor shake hands with me and I think at least one other person. My dentist only fist bumps now though. I carry disinfectant with me wherever I go now so I use it almost immediately after opening doors and shaking hands, and then wash my hands as soon as possible anyway. (Disinfectant doesn't mean you've removed stuff, you've just shifted it around lol) Yeah life is different for sure.

Random question, the universe is expanding right? So does that mean not only is earth spinning on its axis while rotating around the sun but our whole “local” solar system is like a picture moving outward as well?

[@ekojar3047]

For my Mac & Cheese and I am a cheese head 🧀 I use White pepper, sea Salt, paprika for basic seasoning. If I don't have anything else ill use a little All Seasoning, but I like a little bit of ranch seasoning, with garlic and onion powder. It gives it a sort of Italian flavor. And that is so strange that he mentioned nutmeg because I planned on trying that because I head it makes Ramen noodles taste better. But be careful with nutmeg.

[@CaliforniaBushman]

Message to Neil; I grew up in the 70's with Fat Albert on Saturday Mornings. In Westchester County. And I'm pretty sure it took place in NYC where, no doubt, he would have ate a lot of pizza 😆. Or was it Philly Cheesesteaks?

[@HugoHugunin]

I have begged, pleaded, cajoled and annoyed Alton to explain the interaction between Cajeta de quemada (goat's milk caramel) and peanut butter, Nutella or chocolate that turns them into instantaneous fudge when stirred together. Even if the Cajeta and Nutella or others are warmed and runny, once they are mixed together they become fudge. It's delicious but I want to know *_WHY_* the @#$% does that happens?!?

"There can be bad smells, over time, if you're in an enclosed environment...". I'll admit to giggling a bit, but I love the way she phrased it. That has to be a huge concern, but my simple mind never considered it while thinking about space travel. In space, smells have nowhere to go, so...??
