Astronaut Jeffrey A. Hoffman spends a moment of off-duty time aboard Endeavour to celebrate Hanukkah. A dreidel floats near the astronaut on the middeck. The veteran mission specialist spent eleven days in space with five other NASA astronauts and a payload specialist from the European Space Agency (ESA). Their primary mission was to service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Hoffman participated in three of five space walks associated with that servicing mission.
