This Thanksgiving, the party is going to be a completely different for the NASA astronauts Thanksgiving meal in space. Shane Kimbrough, the Expedition 50 Commander, apparently can’t wait for Thanksgiving because they are going to be cooking up a feast in space!

What will be included in NASA Astronauts Thanksgiving meal?

Well, the NASA astronauts are not going to be far behind than the people who will be celebrating Thanksgiving in their homes this year. The crew will reportedly make a ‘heavenly meal’ consisting of turkey, cherry-blueberry cobbler, candied yams, and dehydrated cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans and mushrooms. The only catch? They all come in a pouch!

“I’m going to try to make it as much like home as we can,” said Kimbrough in a NASA video on Monday. And they’re going to be doing another Thanksgiving tradition too in space. Watch football!

A press release stated that “Food scientists at A&M create the flavorful dishes from the highest quality ingredients, and they take care to make sure that the crew members enjoy the best quality meals possible while in space.”

Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp added, “Texas A&M is proud to feed our brave astronauts aboard the International Space Station. You know the food is going to be tasty and healthful if it’s made at A&M with Aggie pride.”

Dr Bonnie Dunbar, a retired NASA astronaut, has tasted the food prepared by A&M  and yes, he has tasted the Thanksgiving meal too. He said in a video released by A&M, “The meats are really great. It’s just like Thanksgiving dinner.”

The food for the NASA astronauts is prepared in Texas and since 2007, the Space Food Research Facility ‘has produced more than 50 kinds of food items for astronauts on the International Space Station and throughout NASA’s human spaceflight program’.
