Some astronauts are taking the day off to celebrate Thanksgiving while they orbit Earth on the International Space Station. The three members of Expedition 57 from Russia, Germany and the U.S. will celebrate all together after food prepared specially for the occasion was sent to them last weekend, according to a NASA blogpost. Alexander Gerst from the European Space Agency and Serena Aunon Chancellor, a NASA flight engineer, will have the day off while their Russian colleague, Sergey Prokopyev, will join them for the feast after completing his normal work day.
