Working for NASA is a dream come true and a tough job at that especially during festivals when everyone is celebrating with their near and dear ones and they are researching and conducting important experiments in the International Space Station.

While everyone was feasting on delicious turkey for Thanksgiving with friends, family and loved ones, NASA let out an interesting video showing how NASA astronauts celebrated Thanksgiving from outer space.

The recently posted video by NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration on their Facebook page shows American astronauts Scott Kelly and Kjell Lindgren, along with other crew members, who were parked at the International cook the actual Thanksgiving meal, i.e. smoked turkey in roughly 20 minutes!

One of the astronauts, Scott Kelly shared a picture of him along with his crew celebrating Thanksgiving.

 

This is how Thanksgiving looked like for these NASA astronauts:
