Canada And Space Are A Natural Fit.

Well, My Father Was In The Army And We Traveled Quite A Bit When I Was Growing Up, And I Thought That I Would Like To Have A Military Career, Although I Was Drawn More Towards The Navy.

I Went To Military College In Canada And Graduated As An Officer In The Navy But Also As An Engineer.

You're In Orbit Over The Earth. And Suddenly It's Very, Very Quiet. It's Dramatic. You Realize You're Floating In The Straps In Your Chair. And You Take Off Your Seat Belt And Float Over To The Window And Look Out, And You Realize, "i'm Not Looking At A Picture, Here." I Couldn't Process It All. Even If I Forget Everything Else In My Life, That Will Stay With Me, Burned Into My Brain Until The Day I Die.

The Space Industry Is Developing And Delivering Benefits That Tie Into Our Immediate Needs And Priorities Here On Earth-for Example, Medical And Materials Research, And Satellite Communications.

Through These Ongoing Activities And Possibly In The Future, A Canadian Will Go Live And Work On The International Space Station And We Will Continue To Make Canadians Proud Of Our Achievements In Space.
