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

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.

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.

Let our love chase all clouds awayHold my hand and feel the dayYour footsteps guide my steps all alongBeneath my skin your veins belong.

Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other.

If you paid your mortgage off, it means you probably did not manage your funds efficiently over the years.

People must be taken as they are, and we should never try make them or ourselves better by quarreling with them.

A great amount of good is always evened out by a great amount of bad. I find it's best to acknowledge that weird balance.

Listen to me, my Friend! My beloved Lord is within.

The persistent failures of controlled, double-blind experiments to support the claims of parapsychology suggest that what's going on is nonsense rather than sixth sense.

I've also found thousands that have reached out to me in a way that maybe they never did. And it's broadened the ministry in other ways that people now relate.

The light of love flows out of my soul, but it can go nowhere because it's blocked by pain. I could inhale and exhale every morning for the rest of my life, but that wouldn't solve anything.

One day I realized that it didn't matter whether people loved me or not.
