On November 10, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Colonel Joshua Kutryk spoke live from space with the Honourable Joanne Thompson, Minister of Fisheries, as well as students, cadets and community members gathered at the Johnson Geo Centre in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.
From the International Space Station, Kutryk answered young participants’ questions about an astronaut’s typical day, the feeling of weightlessness and how astronauts prepare for a spacewalk.
He discussed his mission, which began on October 1, and shared experiences from his two spacewalks, performed on October 29 and November 5. He also described his daily routine aboard the Station and explained what inspired him to become an astronaut.
