"It's going to be a little different for us up in space, but I'm going to try to make it as much like home as we can," Kimbrough said in a Thanksgiving video from NASA recorded on Nov. 18.

The Space Station's Thanksgiving menu doesn't sound too far off from what you might make at home... except for the fact that almost everything needs to be rehydrated. Also, you can't cook over an open flame on the Space Station because, while fire in weightlessness looks really awesome, it's also incredibly dangerous.

According to Kimbrough, the crewmembers will be eating:

• Turkey from a pouch

• "Awesome" cherry/blueberry cobbler

• Candied yams

• Cornbread dressing — a perennial favorite for many astronauts on the Space Station. NASA even published its recipe for the dish online.

• Green beans and mushrooms

• Mashed potatoes

• Sweet tea with lemon

As is tradition, the crewmembers will float around their table and discuss what they're thankful for this year, Kimbrough said.

And, of course, there will be football.

Mission controllers will beam up some live games at the request of the Space Station crew.

"Thanksgiving in my world is not complete without some football," Kimbrough added.

People have been celebrating holidays of all kinds on the Space Station for 16 years. The orbiting outpost has been continually occupied by rotating crews of astronauts and cosmonauts since 2000.

At the moment, Kimbrough and Whitson are joined on the station by European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet and Russian cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy, Sergey Ryzhikov and Andrey Borisenko.
