Independence Day 2018

The 4th of July is the most significant national holiday in the United States, celebrating the Declaration of Independence, adopted in 1776.

NASA astronauts Jack Fischer and Peggy Whitson celebrated the Fourth of July from over 250 miles above Earth aboard the International Space Station. Fischer shared a photo on social media and said, “We sometimes have issues standing up straight, but we have no problems at all showing our American pride – Happy 4th!”
