2018-09-05 - David Saint-Jacques has done years of training to be ready for a space mission. Since his assignment to the crew of Expedition 58/59, he has taken customized training on the International Space Station and its various modules, the Soyuz spacecraft, Canadian and international science, and a variety of mission-specific tasks. His training has taken him to Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia and the United States. David Saint-Jacques will fly to the International Space Station in December 2018.

No but seriously, Was the hole made before leaving to the ISS or by someone on the ISS, and was that person found and restrained

Please take the Canadian flag off, it's a human achievement has nothing to do with Canada. How offensive to people in the rest of the world.
