Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk says he’s been dreaming of going to space for a long time — and assuming everything goes to plan, he could fulfil that goal next week. The 44-year-old is one of four individuals assigned to NASA’s SpaceX Crew 13 mission heading to the International Space Station. The crew will spend six months at the station conducting experiments, doing research and taking part in critical maintenance work. Kutryk is currently quarantining in Houston but will travel to Florida for the launch, which is currently set to take place next Thursday at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Kutryk says he is proud to represent Canada and will be bringing Canadian flags with him on the journey. How physically fit are the astronauts ?
