The only two Americans living, literally, out of this world wished the country a happy Independence Day, and it's probably the best holiday message ever.
NASA's Christina Koch and Nick Hague are flying 250 miles above us, but they still donned their best red, white and blue gear to film their video, floating the microphone between them. The two have been in space since March. It's a star spangled space station! Wherever you may be celebrating, @Astro_Christina and @AstroHague send Independence Day greetings on behalf of the crew aboard the orbiting laboratory, 250 miles above the planet we call home. Happy #4thOfJuly! pic.twitter.
— Intl. Space Station July 3, 2019 "As we orbit our planet high above you, we want to take a moment and wish all Americans, at home and around the world, a very happy Fourth of July," Koch said.Around the world and above the world too, it seems. Praising American"grit, determination and imagination" in pushing scientific boundaries, the two also said it is an exciting time for spaceflight in America.
