I like the opportunity to travel the world and work in close company with other people.

We have played a critical role in meeting the new safety standards. The Canadian space industry contributed new tools that make the inspection of the space shuttle possible.

The space industry is developing and delivering benefits that tie into our immediate needs and priorities here on Earth-for example, medical and materials research, and satellite communications.

In 1983, NASA invited Canada to fly three payload specialists, in part because we had contributed the robotic arm that is used on the shuttle.

I wanted to further my education, so I went on to get a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and came back and served about ten years in the Canadian Navy as what we call a combat systems engineer.

Canada has made a strong commitment as a partner in the International Space Station and, like the other partners, wishes to see the assembly of this unique orbiting laboratory continue.

I went to military college in Canada and graduated as an officer in the Navy but also as an engineer.

Canada and space are a natural fit.

New standards for safety are now in place and Canada has helped provide tools and techniques that were needed. Technologies like these are innovative and represent great achievements for us.

It is a challenge to have your launch date slip continuously.

I think there's going to be a very sudden shift in people's perception of the International Space Station, because suddenly it's going to look much, much bigger than it already is.

Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.

The human race is called on throughout the Bible to repent of sin and return to God.

And I suffered you and gave you all my pieces

Milk should be refrigerated even before opening.

Poverty, to be picturesque, should be rural. Suburban misery is as hideous as it is pitiable.

Does anyone ask their parents how they are conceived?

Tranquil pleasures last the longest; we are not fitted to bear the burden of great joys.

Three things can happen when you throw the ball, and two of them are bad.

I think we have to ask, not, what "Gender trouble" is today but where "Gender trouble" is today.

Without a vision human beings are nasty creatures.
