Here's How Astronauts Spend Thanksgiving

NASA astronauts Scott Kelly and Kjell Lindgren gave their thanks and previewed their “traditional” Thanksgiving meal in a video from the International Space Station, NBC News reported.

The two astronauts discussed what they’re thankful for, while grabbing a few bites from their zero-gravity feast.

"We just wanted to wish you a very warm and happy Thanksgiving," Lindgren said in the video greeting.

Kelly added his own thanks, as well: "Being on the space station here and looking down at our incredibly beautiful planet gives us a different perspective on what it means to be citizens of planet Earth," he said.

The two have the day off and will share their meal with the four others aboard the space station.
