David Thompson - The Right Stuff June 17th, 2009 Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk successfully launched this morning to a rendezvous with the International Space Station. He expects to be at the station for 6 months. This will be, by far, the longest stay for a Canadian at the station. On September 12, if all goes well, he will broadcast a downlink from the International Space Station to the Panida Theater in Sandpoint, Idaho, as part of the bicentennial commemoration of David Thompson's arrival in the Pend Oreille country in September of 1809. This program will be streamed to schools throughout Canada, and, hopefully, to many in the U.S. as well. Bob wrote the following article on the influence of David Thompson on his career as an astronaut for the February 2007 newsletter of Thompson Bicentennial (www.davidthompson200.org .
