Expedition 73 Preflight

Handout photo dated on 07/04/2025 shows A Soyuz rocket is seen on the launch pad at Site 31, Monday, April 7, 2025, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Expedition 73 crewmembers: NASA astronaut Jonny Kim, and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritskiy, are scheduled to launch aboard their Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft on April 8. April 8, 2025: A Soyuz spacecraft has just lifted off from the Baikonur cosmodrome, leased by Russia to Kazakhstan, bound for the International Space Station. Sergei Ryjikov, Alexei Zoubritskiy and Jonny Kim will use their stay in the ISS to carry out some fifty scientific experiments, before returning home in December. The spacecraft has been repainted in honor of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, a time when Americans and Soviets were allies. Space is now one of the last areas of cooperation between Russia and the United States, which is on the verge of collapse due to the conflict in Ukraine. Photo by Joel Kowsky/NASA via ABACAPRESS.COM

Thanksgiving Beyond Earth

Handout photo dated November 27, 2018 shows Getting all ten members of an aggregation consisting of seven Endeavour astronauts and three Expedition 18 crewmembers into a single photo wasn't easy as the two crews shared a Thanksgiving meal on the middeck of the orbiter. Astronaut Sandra Magnus, Expedition 18 flight engineer, appears at top center. Clockwise from her position are astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Eric Boe, along with cosmonaut Yury Lonchakov, and astronauts Steve Bowen (partially visible behind Lonchakov), Donald Pettit, Michael Fincke, Gregory Chamitoff, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and Chris Ferguson (partially visible at top right). Ferguson is STS-126 commander, and Fincke is commander for the station crew. Since 1973, astronauts have celebrated Thanksgiving in space, bringing a cherished tradition far beyond Earth.

Thanksgiving Beyond Earth

Handout photo dated November 27, 2008 Not far away from this close-up scene of the galley on the Space Shuttle Endeavour were nine astronauts and a cosmonaut eager to share a Thanksgiving meal to top off almost two weeks of joint activities, including an involved home improvement project on the International Space Station. Unlike most of their families and friends on Earth, who probably went through pains to prepare elaborate meals for this festive occasion, the STS-126 and Expedition 18 crewmembers merely needed add water to these prepared packets. Since 1973, astronauts have celebrated Thanksgiving in space, bringing a cherished tradition far beyond Earth. The first Thanksgiving in orbit took place aboard Skylab during the Skylab 4 mission, where astronauts Gerald Carr, Edward Gibson, and William Pogue marked the day with an improvised meal after a spacewalk. Over the years, this tradition has evolved, with crews on shuttles, space stations, and orbiters finding creative ways to honor the holiday. From shri
