Although we are starting up our Flight Unit, it will be followed up with the Space Unit.  Check out some of the great things our Canadians are contributing to Space Exploration.

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.

As a Canadian there are some VERY important and special dates coming up on NASA TV. They are: 
Monday March 11 – 13:30 – 14:00 – Chris talks with Let’s talk Science
Tues March 12 – 10-10:30 – CNN Newsroom program talk with the astronauts
Wed March 13 – 17:10 – 17:30 – Exped 34/35 -Change of command ceremony (This is where Chris becomes the 1st Canadian to command a space mission)
