Happy Thanksgiving from NASA

The Thanksgiving holiday is a time for enjoying family, friends, and especially food – and that goes for our astronauts in space.

From the squeeze food tubes of the early Mercury missions to delicious tacos and mac & cheese on board the International Space Station, NASA’s space food scientists are working harder than ever to come up with the best tasting cosmic cuisine.

So, whether your meal is floating out in front you, or resting firmly on your table – from our NASA family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.
