Astronauts aboard the International Space Station celebrate Thanksgiving by sending heartfelt messages to their families and friends on Earth, expressing gratitude for the support they receive from the space community. Despite being physically separated by hundreds of miles, they maintain the spirit of togetherness through special meals that include traditional foods like smoked turkey and butternut squash, adapted for zero gravity conditions. Their celebration serves as a powerful reminder that meaningful connections and traditions can transcend physical distance, highlighting how gratitude and family bonds remain strong even in the unique environment of space.
