Astronaut Randy Bresnik shared the images on Twitter, letting space fans everywhere in on the fun.
Flight Engineer Mark Hei, who dressed up as X-Men team member Wolverine, was sure to note that spoons came out of his hands rather than adamantium claws -- since sharp objects aren't allowed aboard the space station.
