NASA astronaut Suni Williams shares her Thanksgiving plans in space
NASA astronaut Suni Williams spoke with NBC News from the International Space Station about Thanksgiving, her health and whether she feels "stranded" in space.
The astronauts aboard the International Space Station are ready to break bread for a Thanksgiving Day in orbit.
NASA astronaut Suni Williams said she and her fellow crew members will have the day off to celebrate.
“We have a bunch of food that we’ve packed away that is Thanksgiving-ish,” Williams said Wednesday in an interview with NBC News. “Some smoked turkey, some cranberry, apple cobbler, green beans and mushrooms and mashed potatoes.”
She added that she plans to tune in to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade before feasting with her American and Russian colleagues.
Williams has been living and working at the International Space Station for nearly six months. She and fellow NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore arrived at the orbiting outpost in early June, as test pilots on the first crewed flight of Boeing’s Starliner space capsule.
