On Christmas day, NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore celebrated the holiday while aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The two astronauts, who are currently on a mission in orbit, found a special way to mark the occasion despite being far from home.
Williams and Wilmore managed to make the space station feel festive by decorating the interior with Christmas lights and other holiday decorations. They also enjoyed a special Christmas meal together, complete with traditional dishes and treats. The astronauts took time to reflect on the significance of the day and to connect with their loved ones back on Earth through video calls.
Despite being thousands of miles away from the Christmas festivities happening on our home planet, Williams and Wilmore showed that the spirit of the holiday can still be felt in the vastness of space. Their celebration serves as a reminder of the dedication and sacrifice that astronauts make in order to further our understanding of the universe.
As they continue their mission aboard the ISS, Williams and Wilmore’s Christmas celebration highlights the unique and extraordinary experiences that come with living and working in outer space.
