Royal Astronomical Society of Canada – Speaker Night with Dr. Robert Thirsk

May 22 @ 8:00 pm 10:00 pm

Get ready for an out-of-this-world experience!

On this speaker night with RASC, Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk takes you inside his unforgettable six-month mission aboard the International Space Station. From the adrenaline-filled launch aboard a Soyuz rocket to his time in orbit—including his experience aboard a space shuttle—and the thrilling, fast-paced return to Earth, Bob shares vivid, firsthand stories that bring space travel to life.

Go beyond the headlines as he reveals what it’s really like to live and work in orbit—how astronauts eat, sleep, and adapt to microgravity, and the fascinating mix of science, teamwork, and daily routines that define life on the Space Station.

Whether you’re curious about space, science, or human resilience, this is a rare opportunity to hear directly from someone who has truly lived among the stars.
