TL;DR Summary

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) are celebrating Thanksgiving with a feast of turkey, duck, quail, seafood, corn, and cranberry sauce. The crew shared a video message expressing gratitude for their unique vantage point of Earth and the need to protect it. They will also enjoy sweet treats like chocolate and pumpkin spice cappuccino. The Thanksgiving care package was delivered by the SpaceX CRS-29 Dragon resupply mission. The astronauts will eat their meals using magnets and Velcro to keep them in place in microgravity, and they won't have chairs or washing up as utensils and food packages are disposed of to prevent bacterial growth.
