Thanksgiving meal served to astronauts aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis

Thanksgiving meal served to astronauts aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis displayed at Johnson Space Station. There is an opening closeup shot on packaged food in containers with hands pushing a packaged item into the tray space. There is a cut to a headshot of a woman with curly hair saying, We went a little bit out of our way. We did the best we could to make it as close to, being its a holiday, as close to home as we could. There are cuts to different packaged foods in closeup shots ending with a closeup shot of packaged butter cookies. The centerpiece of contemporary Thanksgiving in the United States and Canada is a large meal, generally centered around a large roasted turkey. The majority of the dishes in the traditional American version of Thanksgiving dinner are made from foods native to the New World, as according to tradition the Pilgrims received these foods from the Native Americans. However, many of the classic traditions attributed to the first Thanksgiving are actually myths introduced later. An astronaut or cosmonaut is a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a crew member of a spacecraft. While generally reserved for professional space travelers, the terms are sometimes applied to anyone who travels into space, including scientists, politicians, journalists, and tourists. The Space Shuttle Atlantis is a retired Space Shuttle orbiter in the Space Shuttle fleet belonging to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA, the spaceflight and space exploration agency of the United States. Atlantis was the fourth operational Space Shuttle to be constructed by the Rockwell International company in Southern California, and it was delivered to the John F. Kennedy Space Center in eastern Florida in April 1985. Atlantis was the only orbiter which lacked the ability to draw power from the International Space Station while docked there, it had to continue to provide its own power through fuel cells.
