Great Conversations with Scott Kelly

Ontario Science Centre Trip "Great Conversations"

Thursday October 26th 2017

"We’ve created a research lab in space but can man really live beyond Earth’s orbit? Astronauts provide a unique perspective on both the challenges of living in a microgravity environment and the opportunities of human space missions. What are the extreme challenges of a long-term spaceflight on the body and psyche? Is there such a thing as a space gene? Does Mars hold the key to life in space?

Interviewed by former CSA astronaut Dr. Dave Williams, three-time commander of the International Space Station Scott Kelly will discuss his colourful formative years, record-breaking space career and the infinite wonder of the galaxy. Join us as the two sit down for a cosmic conversation, astronaut to astronaut."
