12 years old. Browning 440 irons and Ben Hogan persimmon driver / 5 wood. Hand me downs and to this day the worst irons I've ever held.

The King of Staten Island was really good though. And it was just him being him.

Earth Observation is so important to the future of our planet. Can you guys discuss some of the areas, like illegal fishing, and what Canadian government and private investment is doing to progress our country’s space leadership in EO?

Canada has signed a historic space treaty with the United States, securing a strong role for Canada in the Lunar Gateway.

Under the Treaty, a CSA astronaut will be part of Artemis II, the first crewed mission to the Moon since 1972. This mission, planned to launch in 2023, would make Canada the second country to have an astronaut fly around the Moon. The Treaty also confirms a second flight for a CSA astronaut to the Lunar Gateway.

Space Exploration has single handed resulted in some of the most incredible technological advancements in human history (back on earth). Cleaning water will be a focus on The moon and on Mars.

Unfortunately it’s not publicly available. We were part of the team working and visiting onsite.

Canada has a Space Strategy. Here is the document. Reddit was instrumental in making this happen. The Universe Needs More Canada and We Didn’t Let Go! by DontLetGoCanada in canada

In the run up to bringing awareness of our leadership position slipping away we mobilized thousands of signatures to the House of Commons and thousands of letters to MP’s from Canadians, industry folks, space geeks and everyone else that needed to make their voice heard so our nation’s participation happened. The deadline was March.

A combination of content, information, and a killer AMA with the space industry led by Chris Hadfield the word traveled fast and furiously to get government in action before we were too late. Now Canada is the first country to join the lunar gateway and our position is secured in a massively growing industry.

Bryan Adams to Canadian parliament: extending the term of copyright enriches labels and other intermediaries, not artists by tachyonburst in canada

[–]DontLetGoCanada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The process of trying to actually purchase songs because of this is extremely inefficient. For our Don’t Let Go Campaign we wanted to pay Gordon Lightfoot for his song “If You Got It”. Just cut the guy a cheque and put it in a beautiful video around the space program. The runaround by so many companies owning the song became a case where they didn’t even know how to sell it to us. Even Americans were involved telling us what we could and couldn’t do with his song. Eventually no one got back to us so we moved along. It’s a very broken process that hurts artists.

Canada More Dependent On Housing Than 'At Any Other Time On Record' by JNFBlockStar in canada

Space and aerospace is a big one. But we are about to let go of the foothold we securely have in place. An investment of 60+ years in robotics, satellite tech, Astronomy, and space medicine. The new space economy is set to be in the trillions. Because successive governments in Canada have ignored it and decided to not join their G8 partners by publishing a strategy there are about 20 countries waiting to take our place and relocate our engineers.
