Halloween on the International Spaceport Station

.Although no ghouls or demons or even trick-or-treaters happen knocking at the International Space Station's front hatch, workers participants aboard the orbiting facility still like to get in the Halloween sense. Whether independently or even as a whole entire staff, they spruce up in occasionally creepy, occasionally scary, but consistently innovative costumes, often created coming from components offered aboard the spaceport station. Feel free to delight in the following scenes coming from Halloweens past even as we anticipate the outfits of the future.Left behind: Using a dark cape, Trip 16 NASA rocketeer Clayton C.
