"Shockingly, yes, I think it will be," commander Charles Hobaugh said as some of his crew members grabbed the still unopened pouches of turkey and trimmings, and let them float around.

Must be the first time a turkey has flown.  :)

Atlantis is coming back with an empty payload bay after delivering nearly 15 tons of pumps, storage tanks and other big spare parts to the space station, enough to keep the complex running for another five to 10 years. NASA wants the station well stocked so it can function long after the shuttles are retired next fall.


What could possibly go wrong?   :laugh:
