This is our regular monthly general membership meeting which includes our guest speaker Dr. David Prud'-homme who will provide special insight on the International Space Station. 

The International Space Station: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

David is a former president of the Edmonton Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, with an avid interest in astronomy and the history of space exploration.  David has been a volunteer instructor with Elder College since 2011, offering two courses - “Introduction to the Night Skies” and “Space Race: Quest for the Moon.”   He enjoys researching space flight, from the earliest manned missions to long-term duration stays on space stations.

The International Space Station was begun in 1998 and has been operational for 25 years.  So far, it has hosted almost 300 visitors.  We know its up there.  We can see it pass over from time to time.  But what is really going on up there, and what is life like in its confined environment?  We will take an entertaining and informative look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of the International Space Station and touch on two other space stations.
