Thank you for covering this with such infectious enthusiasm. It's so good to see Canadians confidently at the forefront of the next big thing. This is another big step into a much bigger frontier and industry... crossing the next big ocean to see what's out there and what we can do with it for the good of all.
"Columbus 2.0" is getting ready to "sail that ocean".
If we do things right, within a couple centuries we could be building significant communities using the natural resources on other planets and the asteroid belt, continuing to explore.

Canada is a land of extremes, but also extreme blessings. I'm inclined to believe that living here causes us to become inherently humble, down to earth, resourceful, and practical, which helps in accomplishing extreme visions like going to the moon.
Go Canada!

So super cool....I was 4 when NASA first went to the moon, can't wait until we return, and so proud of Jeremy Hansen as the first Canadian astronaut to orbit the moon. Congrats!

We'd have been at this stage in the 1970s if Nixon didn't end the Apollo program for the shuttle program. It's about time, felt like it took as long as waiting for JWST to launch...jeez that was exhausting, so many delays.
