David Saint-Jacques on space exploration and what it takes to become an astronaut

Meet astronaut David Saint-Jacques, the next Canadian to travel to the International Space Station in Nov. 2018.

David Saint-Jacques sat down with Maclean's senior writer Paul Wells and talked about his upcoming mission to space, how the song 'Fly me to the Moon' launched the start of his astronaut career, and what it takes to wear the puffy, white spacesuit.
