Space Station Astronauts Celebrate Thanksgiving in Orbit

Astronauts celebrate Thanksgiving in space with a special meal, featuring familiar comfort foods and unique treats. The menu, prepared months in advance, includes turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, crab, salmon, and lobster. All food must have a minimum shelf life of one year, with many items being freeze-dried and packaged in vacuum-sealed bags. The stations population grew to thirteen with the arrival of new crew members, making for a full table in space. This unique celebration showcases the ingenuity and dedication of those working in space exploration. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story.
