Canadian Space Camp
I was driving home from the site in Mirabel yesterday to my hotel in Laval, when I noticed something interesting. The hotel is directly next to the Canadian Space Camp.
At first I thought to myself (being a geek and a space fan) "How cool that Canadian children can attend that and learn about space!" Then I thought more about it.
Does Canada even have a space program? Incredulously and naively I immediately thought, "Of course not!" But not being sure about it, I checked and it turns out that they do!
The exploration of space is one of the most ambitious scientific and technological endeavours ever undertaken. Canada has a reputation for exceptional scientific instruments and robotics, and for an outstanding astronaut corps.
Not to mention that they have a decent website supporting their organization to boot-Eh!
