Thanksgiving in Space: Astronauts' Zero-Gravity Feast!

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.

"Expedition 70: Rubio's Record Stay, Technical Issues, and Upcoming EVAs in ISS Roundup"

Expedition 70 is underway on the International Space Station (ISS) after two crew handovers and technical issues, including a coolant leak on the Russian segment. NASA astronaut Frank Rubio set a new U.S. space endurance record of 371 days, becoming the first American to spend over one calendar year continuously in space. The crew is preparing for Russian EVA-61 and US EVA-89 later this month. The coolant leak on the Nauka science module has been identified and is not impacting operations. The upcoming spacewalks will involve installing a new camera and replacing a trundle bearing assembly on the solar array rotary joint.
