Thanksgiving in Space
watch?v=9lMjY4RdSaw
I was wondering what it must be like to celebrate a holiday like Thanksgiving in space. A quick search discovered this year-old video from the collectspace YouTube Channel. It shows two of the astronauts aboard the International Space Station describing their Thanksgiving dinner and counting their blessings.
The current astronauts have bid farewell to the space station crew, as they prepare to undock and depart the station Friday morning for a return to earth. The Endeavour shuttle mission was declared a success with four spacewalks completed in eleven days. More info at www.nasa.gov

Spacewalk # 2
Shuttle crew members Rick Linnehan and Mike Foreman have completed the second spacewalk of Endeavour’s STS-123 mission. They worked outside the International Space Station for seven hours assembling the Canadian-built mechanical maintenance robot called Dextre.

Space Shuttle Endeavour docks with International Space Station
This is a busy time for NASA crews aboard the space shuttle Endeavour and the International Space Station. They’re outfitting the new Japanese Logistics Module with supplies and equipment, which is the first onboard laboratory for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The astronauts are also finishing assembly of the Canadian robotic service system, called Dextre. This shuttle mission (STS-123) will be the longest mission to the space station, because it’s a sixteen day flight. Plus there are five spacewalks planned, two of which are already completed.
