Chris Hadfield thrills young Thunder Bay audience

More than 1,000 young Thunder Bay students were treated to a space trip Wednesday with Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield.

It was one of two talks Hadfield gave Wednesday at the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium, with the evening session open to the public.

Col. Hadfield shared how his love of space started at an early age, and how it took him twenty-one years of hard work and study to achieve his goal.

Engaging with Elementary School students from across Thunder Bay and with school students on a closed circuit livestream produced by NNL, the enthusiasm Hadfield shared had students cheering, applauding and excited to share.

Several really fortunate students were brought up on stage by Hadfield to help in demonstrating how things are going to space, and in one case, “going in space”. Students cheered loudly, and yet also when asked to be quiet were more silent than anyone could believe.
