		Astronaut, physician, research scientist, pilot and photographer Roberta Bondar is a classic overachiever.
		When I ask this heavily-medalled neurologist, who laughingly says she can always fall back on medicine (Bondar observes one day a week at North York General to keep her credentials current), just why she turned to photography, she tells me bluntly that it's a way to stay at home.
