How do astronauts celebrate the Holidays?

Join NASA Solar System Ambassador James Joel Knapper for a presentation about celebrating the holidays in space.  Ever wonder what astronauts do during the holidays?  While they may not have a turkey to carve, many holiday traditions exist.  In this program, James Joel Knapper will discuss how holidays are celebrated and explore how astronauts bring a little taste of home to enjoy in zero gravity. 

This program is presented in cooperation with the Putnam County Public Library District.  Photo use courtesy of NASA.
