Today I had the opportunity to share my Crew 13 launch experience with Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk on the @CBCEyeopener with host @LorenMcGinnis.

Attached is a crew photo, launch photo and booster landing image.

You can listen to the interview here:

Did you know that Canada played a key role in space exploration? Including: launch of Sputnik 1 (1957), third Nation in Space (1962), first Canadian in Space (1984). And now, in 2026, Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen made history as the first Canadian to journey around the Moon.

☄️ Look up! The Draconids are coming!
The Draconid meteor shower is active from October 6 to October 10, with the best viewing expected on the evening of October 8. With the Moon close to new, skies should be nicely dark.

It was a fine evening, on the first day of autumn, to be in the Alberta foothills, for sunset and moonrise. These were from the @RAOastronomy Observatory on a special "open house" night just for members of the @CalgaryRASC. A good time was had by all!
