"Aerospace chocolatiers" would be a great name for an experimental, new-age music troupe.

"I'm going to see Alan Parsons Project and Aerospace Chocolatiers are headlining!"

Yup checks out, could be items in an IKEA or Urban Outfitters catalog or band names.

Are we sure that this isn’t a giant space Jiffy Pop?

Multi-layer Insulation, or simply MLI, is a type of high-performance insulator that uses multiple radiation-heat transfer barriers to restrict the flow of (heat) energy. In simple terms, it’s a form of thermal insulation made of multiple layers of thin sheets that is used to cover spacecraft and other space equipment in order to reduce heat loss by way of thermal radiation.

You do realize they aren’t really sending a giant ball of shitty chocolate into space, yeah?
