Happy Thanksgiving to all the astronauts up there in space.

[@luistpuig]

Just like in a US Navy nuclear submarine, our fresh food was gone after the first month underwater, and then it was eating out of canned food for the rest of the time... we spent months on end underwater not surfacing and seeing the Sun for all that time.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Slowest food fights ever ❤

I'm surprised they actually had a pepper floating freely. Wouldn't having a pepper in space be kind of questionable because the seeds would be floating everywhere and maybe the juice might get into people's eyes?

Hey, Matt Damon scienced the sh!t out of it for Mars. Just pack some potatoes, and collect your poop... ;-P

They should at least bring back Space Food Sticks!

What? No Tang?

According to the book Packing for Mars, steak and eggs are the traditional pre-launch meal. It is almost completely digestible

[@DavidPogue]

LOL! I know... the presentation is TERRIBLE... they don't even put photos of the food on the envelopes!...but I gotta tell you, it tasted really good!

[@romstar]

@DavidPogue Yes! But it did look like they condensed a lot of flavor in those small packages 📦 😍🙏🤣😋

[@gm7304]

I remember when the toilet broke in space. That was nothing nice.

[@Treebronx]
