Pizza delivery to @space_station! Our Expedition 53 crew had a blast channeling our inner chef by building #tasty pizzas for movie night. Whose pizza looks the tastiest?

Cosmic pizza!

What’s it like to make pizza in space? Team skills come in handy when your food floats.

A fidget spinner in space! How long does it spin? I'm not sure, but it’s a great way to experiment with Newton’s laws of motion!

Fidget spinner spinning in space!

Allowing the fidget spinner to float reduces the bearing friction by permitting the rate of the central ring and outer spinner to equalize, and the whole thing spins as a unit.

@AstroAcaba Looking at video footage from space can we recognize the indicators of where a fire might occur on the ground? #GreenSpace
