Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk told children in St. John’s that he’s “having the time of my life” as he works aboard the International Space Station.
The Story
Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk beamed into an educational centre in St. John’s, N.L., to answer questions from children about his time aboard the International Space Station.
Kutryk said life in space can be tough and sometimes tedious, but that “it’s a lot of fun to fly around in microgravity,” and he added, “I’m having the time of my life.”
During the visit, the audience in St. John’s clapped and cheered as Kutryk demonstrated his weightlessness with a backflip.
Kutryk also said he hopes people look to space exploration as an example of what can be accomplished when countries and people work together.
He and his fellow crew members took off for the International Space Station on Oct. 1 for a mission expected to last six months.
