There are two documentaries on Chris Hadfield that
will be airing, at least in the Toronto area, in the next week. I caught the
last half of one and it provided an amazing insight into Chris, how and why
astronauts train and life as an astronaut. There’s probably more, but I only
caught the last 20 minutes.
In Toronto the documentaries are being aired on
Channel 9 - Crossroads Television System or CTS for short. If you have
High Def it is labeled as CTSHD. The dates and times are as follows
Sat March 9, 9-10
pm - Here I Stand- The Chris Hadfield Story
Wed March 13, 8-9 pm – The Chris
Hadfield Story – The Sky is Not the Limit
Also a reminder that NASA’s TV channel is available
through Rogers on
254 – Standard Def
579 –High Def
You can watch live coverage and special events like
press conferences, media events and educational programming.
