Marc Garneau, Canadian Astronaut has died at age 76. He was a trailblazer in our space relationship with Canada and the robotic arm on the shuttle. In Parliament he headed Transport and the Foreign Ministry. Jeremy Hansen who will fly to the moon, follows this Canadian champion.

I was very saddened to hear of this loss last night at an industry event here in Canada, where the crowd was obviously very moved by the news. It's clear he is revered as a national treasure by Canadians. My condolences to all who loved him.

It is an enormous pleasure to be in Canada. In today’s geopolitical and economic environment, the partnership between ESA and 🇨🇦 has never been more strategically important. I look forward to turning challenges into opportunities together this week and over the coming months. An important moment to make bold decisions will be at #CM25 where Canada, as a non-European Cooperating State, will play a key role in forming the future.

I was sorry to hear that my friend and fellow astronaut Marc Garneau passed away - the first Canadian to fly in space. My heart goes out to his family and also to the Canadian people that he served – not only from space, but for a lifetime on Earth.
He was a serious person – 👇

generous with his advice for folks less experienced like me, and always kind.  I loved that twinkle of laughter that was never far from his eyes - most notably when he presented me with a Moosehead Beer T-shirt from his first flight that I had mentioned wistfully.  👇

“The Moose is Loose in SPACE!!”.   He found it in the far corner of a closet, and it’s still lurking somewhere in mine, along with fond memories of this wonderful man.

We will always remember his significant contribution to the history of Canadian space exploration. In 1984, Marc became the first Canadian to travel into space.

Throughout his journey, he demonstrated visionary leadership, integrity, and dedication. Marc was also a profoundly humane man, generous and attentive to others.

May we continue to honour his memory. ✨

Q & A with astronaut Marc Garneau: Insights from his memoir
Melissa Roushorne Oct 4, 2024 10:01 AM


Marc Garneau courtesy: McClelland & Stewart

Astronaut, naval officer, and politician Marc Garneau is adding author to his list of jobs and stopping at The Book Keeper to promote his new memoir.

TJ: Does it still blow your mind that you were the first Canadian to fly in space?

MG: It does every day because when I did apply, and the reason that this opportunity came up is because Canada already had its own space program and had been involved in space for 20 years but on the non-human side, with things like communication satellites. And we approached NASA and said, look, you're designing and building a new vehicle called the Space Shuttle, and we'd like to build the robotic arm for it. Would you allow us to do it? We call the Canadarm, of course.

And so NASA wanted to thank us and said, look, in recognizing what you just did, we'd like to offer two Canadians the opportunity to fly it…Canada said great we'll go out there and find some astronauts.

So in 1983 a full-blown ad campaign started in the papers and on the radio…I saw this ad one day when I was in the Navy. I was very happy with my career in the Navy but I just couldn't ignore this. This was an opportunity for an incredible adventure on the frontier of space which was still pretty new at that time and I just couldn't resist it. (...)
