Thursday, November 7, 2024 - “Why is Space So Important?”

MARC GARNEAU was the first Canadian to fly in Space in 1984, forty years ago. In addition to a lengthy and successful parliamentary career, he was President of the Canadian Space Agency from 2001-2005, and the recipient of the NASA Exceptional Service Medal (1997) and three NASA Space Flight Medals (1984, 1996, 2000). Marc will invite us to consider how Canada was quick to realize the potential of space from the very beginning, contributing many pioneering initiatives of which Canadians can be justly proud.
