Astronauts who are lucky enough to score a gig aboard the International Space Station make a lot of sacrifices in the name of science. They’re away from their families and friends for months on end, don’t have access to many of the basic creature comforts we all enjoy, and live on a somewhat limited selection of food… unless, of course, it’s Christmas.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that headed skyward this week is carrying a whole bunch of important cargo. It weighs in at 5,600 pounds, and while much of the shipment is fairly typical of a resupply mission, there’s also a very special holiday dinner packed away that some of the crew members will get to enjoy when Christmas rolls around.
