The Most Beautiful Holiday Card
Dec. 17, 2011
Our planet is so beautiful, peaceful and serene when you look at it from space - the most beautiful holiday card you could imagine. On behalf of my crewmates Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin, we wish everyone on planet Earth, a happy, safe and most of all, peaceful holiday season.
Editor's note: Would you like to send your good wishes to the crew? Next week, Dan, Anton and Anatoly will be joined by Don Pettit, André Kuipers and Oleg Kononenko, who launch to the Space Station December 21st. They would all love to hear from you in their home away from home - and it's easy to do!

I encourage everyone to watch and share this beautiful holiday message from International Space Station commander Dan Burbank as he describes the most beautiful holiday card you can imagine (from the orbital perspective)

Buenas noches Astro. ¿Estáis preparando ya el pavo de Navidad?. ¿Os llevásteis polvorones y pestiños?. ¿Y el champán?. A mí me gusta también la sidra. ¿explotarían las botellas de champán en el espacio?. Se descorcharían antes de llegar. ¿Pondréis un árbol de navidad en el cohete espacial?. Los podéis adornar con estrellas y planetas.
