Our alien friend Paxi, ESA Education’s mascot, went to visit Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui on board the International Space Station. Kimiya shows Paxi what it’s like to prepare and eat food in weightlessness, an important part of the day when living on the ISS.

On Dec. 11 aboard the International Space Station, NASA’s Kjell Lindgren, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko and Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, bid farewell to crew members remaining on the station — including Commander Scott Kelly, NASA’s one-year mission astronaut. The returning members of Expedition 45 then climbed aboard their Soyuz spacecraft for the trip back to Earth. They safely touched down hours later in Kazakhstan – closing out a 141-day stay in space.
