Dinner for 13, minus gravity
Dinner parties can be challenging on Earth, but aboard the International Space Station it's an altogether different experience with astronauts around and above the table.
The combined 13-member crew of the shuttle Endeavour and the International Space Station can enjoy a joint meal when time permits, but getting everyone around the table is a bit of a challenge in the cramped confines of the lab complex.
Luckily, the absence of gravity makes "sitting down to dinner" a different sort of experience. No word yet on whether the last one to the table has to do the dishes.
The Endeavour crew arrived at the space station on July 17 and are set to leave Tuesday.
