Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk from space: 'I'm having the time of my life.'

Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk told a science center audience in St. John’s, N.L. that life aboard the International Space Station has been challenging but enjoyable in microgravity. Speaking to children and adults, the 44-year-old said sleeping and eating are different—food is mostly liquid and he often ends up “almost drinking it out of a bag”—but he has adapted, including reading on his Kindle and using an exercise bike. Kutryk, from Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., launched Oct. 1 with NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission and expects to remain in space for six months. He completed two spacewalks for maintenance and described Earth from orbit as a “giant globe of blue” 400 kilometers away.
