Visiting Space Shuttle Atlantis at the Kennedy Space Center

2009-11-05 - David Saint-Jacques and some of his fellow astronaut candidates take a minute to pose with Space Shuttle Atlantis at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC).   Non-pilot astronaut candidates—including Canada's David Saint-Jacques--spent six weeks at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida for an accelerated initiation to the flying of high-performance aircraft through a mixture of lectures, simulator work and actual flights including a memorable flight to KSC.
