Happy Thanksgiving! The 10 members of the joint Shuttle-ISS crew are spending their last day together on-orbit. Here's something to be thankful for: spare tools. What's on the menu? Space turkey, of course! NASA reports:

The STS-126 and Expedition 18 crews are scheduled to bid one another farewell before the hatches between space shuttle Endeavour and the International Space Station close today. Endeavour is slated to undock Friday.
Prior to hatch closure, the two crews will have time off to spend the first part of the day as a team and enjoy a Thanksgiving meal in the Harmony module. On the menu are smoked turkey, cornbread dressing, green beans and mushrooms, candied yams and cranapple dessert.
Endeavour is scheduled to land at Kennedy Space Center, Fla., on Sunday.
