How Thanksgiving Dinner Is Prepared in Space
NASA video shows how astronauts prepare their Thanksgiving fixings.
— -- Cooking Thanksgiving dinner can on Earth take hours but at the International Space Station, astronauts have a different process for getting the traditional meal ready.
NASA released a video today showing what it's like for astronauts to cook turkey in space. Instead of ovens and deep fryers, astronauts have to fill a packet of dehydrated turkey with hot water and set it aside while the meat rehydrates.
Once it's ready, the plastic package can be cut and the main course can be enjoyed. American astronaut Scott Kelly, who is currently spending one year in space, and his American co-worker Dr. Kjell Lindgren, will be able to dine on candied yams, cornbread dressing and other classic Thanksgiving fixings, according to NASA.
