38 years ago today, my friend and colleague @MarcGarneau became the first Canadian in space. This flight served as an inspiration to millions of young Canadians to pursue ambitious dreams and we’ll keep looking up to see more 🇨🇦 astronauts! 🚀
@FP_Champagne @csa_asc @asc_csa @spacecanada Thank you my good friend. Very thoughtful of you. Marc
@FP_Champagne @MarcGarneau @csa_asc @asc_csa @spacecanada yes but not in parliament ty. theguardian.com/world/2021/jan…
@FP_Champagne @MarcGarneau @csa_asc @asc_csa @spacecanada I recall our family listening to your lecture in Calgary (not sure date), lined up to have you sign my Jan/Feb 1985 "Canada in Space" edition of Equinox. Will never forget how amazing it was to get to shake your hand, tell you how cool it was to see a Cdn go into space (on TV).
@FP_Champagne @miledhill @MarcGarneau @csa_asc @asc_csa @spacecanada I love prime minister treadu
@FP_Champagne @MarcGarneau @csa_asc @asc_csa @spacecanada And then he completely sold his soul to a corrupt, lying, narcissistic, arrogant political party that has done more harm than good. It's pathetic in a way. One would have excepted better from him.
@FP_Champagne @MarcGarneau @csa_asc @asc_csa @spacecanada I remember going outside in the middle of the night at 13 waiting for the shuttle to fly overhead. And being surprised that it was so bright. I think it had a few more orbits that we watched on tv and were glued to the landing. Can’t believe that was 38 years ago.
@FP_Champagne @lisacampbellasc @MarcGarneau @csa_asc @asc_csa @spacecanada Agreed! 🌟
