Season Two kicks off with a stellar guest—literally. Former Canadian astronaut Robert “Bob” Thirsk, the first Canadian to complete a long-duration stay aboard the ISS. Bob shares what it’s like to live in space for six months, the awe of seeing Earth from orbit, and how that view forever changed his sense of identity—as a true citizen of Earth.

Bob opens up about life before, during, and after spaceflight and what it feels like to have a high school and street in Calgary named after him.
