About 250 miles above the Earth, NASA astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) will enjoy an off-duty day for Thanksgiving, along with a group meal that features some celebratory foods.<\/p>\n

“This is my second Thanksgiving in space, so I highly recommend it,” said Mike Fincke, in a video message beamed down from the outpost.<\/p>\n

This fall, NASA included a “Holiday Bulk Overwrapped Bag,” or BOB, on a resupply mission that went up to the station. The bag contained festive items like clams, oysters, crab meat, quail, and smoked salmon.<\/p>\n
