Happy Thanksgiving to all the astronauts up there in space.

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!

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?

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