The current crew of the International Space Station marked Thanksgiving with zero-gravity-friendly packets of smoked turkey, rehydrated cornbread dressing and a Russian side dish high above Earth.

U.S. astronaut Kevin Ford, the commander of the three-man Expedition 34 crew, showed off the menu in a NASA video. He said he and his Russian crewmates, Evgeny Tarelkin and Oleg Novitskiy, would eat the traditional meal in orbit, adding a Russian mashed-potato-and-onion dish to the American holiday's traditional favorites and washing it down with a cranberry-peach drink.

Ford, Tarelkin and Novitskiy arrived at the station in late October for five-month stint aboard the station. The previous crew returned home Sunday night -- but not without leaving behind a jar of marshmallow cream for Ford's candied yams.

Three additional members are slated to join the Expedition 34 crew in late December.

Space station crew gives thanks in orbit

A Scottish space fan fulfilled a lifelong dream - and visited the International Space Station, at least in virtual form.

Ian Sheffield, 66, paid to have his photo taken into space - and stamped with a circular red stamp showing the picture has visited the ISS, 250 miles above Earth.

Sheffield arranged the 'trip' through a contact, and is coy about how much he paid - it costs at least 6,000 per lb of cargo put into orbit. The round trip is 56 million miles.

A Russian astronaut propped up his picture in the window of the Space Station.

Ian said this week: "I couldn't afford the 15 million fare to go myself, so I thought 'why not send a substitute?'

"The best way of identifying me was to send my actual photograph. I was very excited when I got it back."

The Soyuz spacecraft can also be seen attached to the space station.

Ian, a retired chartered engineer at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh, organised the unique journey for his picture through a private contact in Germany, who then passed the portrait to Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka.

Mr Padalka was launched into space along with two other astronauts on the Soyuz spacecraft expedition 31 on May 14 and after spending 125 days in orbit, the picture returned to Earth and Ian received it in the post last week.

Ian, who paid a small fee to have the photo sent into space, said post office staff in in Gullane were shocked when he described the journey the picture would be taking.

Space station crew marks Thanksgiving in orbit

Turkey and all the trimmings are a staple for Americans on Thanksgiving, and that doesn't have to change for Americans in space.

Astronaut foodhas come a long way from the early days of human spaceflight, and crewmembers on the International Space Station these days can enjoy many Turkey Day traditions, such as cornbread stuffing, yams, mashed potatoes, cherry blueberry cobbler, and, of course, turkey itself.

This year, NASA astronaut Kevin Ford, commander of the space station's Expedition 34 mission, will celebrate with his Russian crewmates Evgeny Tarelkin and Oleg Novitskiy.

"Thanksgiving is not a holiday that the Russians celebrate, but we have found that on orbit thecrewmembers celebrate each others' holidays," said Vickie Kloeris, manager of the Space Food Systems Laboratory at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. "They will take part in Kevin Ford's celebration of Thanksgiving, just as American crewmembers will take part in some of the Russian holidays."[Thanksgiving Feast in Space - The Menue (Video)]

Thespace station's Thanksgiving delicacieswill come in somewhat different forms than what may be on most holiday tables, though. Space food falls into two categories: freeze-dried (just add water) or thermostabilized (comes in a pouch). And all food sent to the space station has to meet certain microbiological requirements and have a sufficient shelf life.

For example, the cornbread dressing on offer is a replacement for the traditional bread-based stuffing that many people are used to. However, break makes too many crumbs that float around in all directions in weightlessness and are difficult to clean up.

Still, the current Thanksgiving menu is a huge improvement over what earlier space travelers had available.

"If you want to go all the way back to Mercury and Gemini, there were no holiday meals back then," Kloeris told SPACE.com. "All you had was cube foods and tube foods. We've definitely expanded greatly the amount of traditional items that we have made available for holiday times, and that only makes sense because when we started having crewmembers stay on space station long term, we knew every year we'd be hitting Thanksgiving and Christmas with somebody."

In addition to the standardholiday menu items, each astronaut gets a certain number of "bonus containers" to pack whatever particular foods they'd like, provided they meet the basic requirements. Most pack off-the-shelf products like cookies and other treats.

Cadiman Highlight Reel [Long]
Highlight reel made for Network Pitch Package. Keep your fingers crossed as i work on a package to approach networks with the Misguided Adventures of Cadiman. This will go along with Character Bios, 13 script season, 2 episode pilot, and a 45sec highlight reel. So pray for me and everyone i will employ when we get picked up, Much Love for taking time to watch! Schol@r and the enitre CadiMan Team Like kickin #39; it with your boys, except the dick and fart jokes aren #39;t just happening on the couch or at the bar, they are usually extremely ill timed, tasteless, and in the thick of some outrageous adventure. Driven by the quick witted, cape sporting, Cadillac mobbing, weed slanging, CadiMan, his boys SC, Weez, tomtom, Jswayze and Sonny, can find themselves on a deserted island one day, trying stand-up comedy that night, to waking up on the international space station the next. Finding time in between ripping on each other #39;s mom, or eating fast food, Cadiman and the fellas usually get inspired by stupid commercial #39;s and things they find on the internet. Although crude, rude and racially explicit, the guys generally find a way to show true friendship, Camaraderie, and never leave a fallen soldier, but take every chance to rip on em.From:Kevin AmodiaViews:0 0ratingsTime:03:07More inFilm Animation

Main Show Only - Space, Mars the Moon - Coast to Coast AM
Space historian and author Robert Zimmerman discussed various space-related topics, such as exploration, commercial ventures, the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Bigelow Aerospace is skipping an interim module and moving ahead with their plan to launch a space station by the end of this decade, he reported (see article below for more on this). The Mars Rovers have shown remarkable endurance, having just weathered heavy dust storms, he detailed. The next Mars lander, the Phoenix (due to arrive on the red planet in 2008) will be attempting a "soft landing," --such landings haven #39;t had success since the Viking probe, said Zimmerman. The Face on Mars, he believes, is not an artificial structure, but rather a mesa with geology that is different than here on Earth. He noted that one of the things that most fascinates him about our solar system is how each planet and moon is totally unique. The Hubble, which will be the topic of his forthcoming book The Universe in a Mirror, has revealed surprises like the universe is expanding as fast at its edges as in the center. He expects that the next generation space telescope, the James Webb, will also provide discoveries that could differ from what scientists currently predict.From:Geoff ThomasViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:14:32More inEducation
