After providing the Canadarm robotic arm for the space shuttle in 1981, Canada received an invitation to start an astronaut program — a program that quickly let its people accumulate skill and prestige. Canadian astronauts have since commanded the International Space Station, flown as co-pilots on spacecraft, and even held senior roles within NASA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book traces how Canada grew from small beginnings into a major player in international space policy. You will hear about Canada’s space program from the words of its astronauts, from Canadian celebrity Chris Hadfield to Liberal cabinet minister Marc Garneau to Governor General Julie Payette. You will experience the excitement and challenges of reporting on a rocket launch in Kazakhstan, as Canada sent its latest astronaut to space in preparation for possible moon missions in the 2020s. And you will learn from the people who work behind the scenes on Canadian space technology and space policy about why we are doing this — and what we plan to do next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-top: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sans-serif-special\"\u003eBUY FROM:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Canadarm-Collaboration-Canadas-Astronauts-Explore\/dp\/1770414428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Amazon.ca_Button_77f55393-2cbc-407a-8a35-fd767e9ae248.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Canadarm-Collaboration-Canadas-Astronauts-Explore\/dp\/1770414428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Amazon.com_Button_74eac223-be95-45f8-898c-b5754c7edbce.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.chapters.indigo.ca\/en-ca\/books\/canadarm-and-collaboration-how-canadas\/9781770414426-item.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Indigo_Button_8ac82365-74c6-462b-a9c1-f29926314ee1.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/canadarm-and-collaboration-elizabeth-howell\/1136574801\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/B_N_Button_eda69837-b34b-4f02-a66d-9270330d32db.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781770414426\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Indiebound_Button_c0528d0d-57c8-48f3-8255-08c8d61c3d79.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.booksamillion.com\/p\/Canadarm-Collaboration\/Elizabeth-Howell\/9781770414426\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/BAM_Button_101988c0-7e4b-442d-ab2b-556219f35ef2.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mcnallyrobinson.com\/9781770414426\/elizabeth-howell\/canadarm-and-collaboration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/McNally_Button_b2df9a42-e2e8-4e84-9aa6-cbbbfdb6392f.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"small-grey-text\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrice may vary by retailer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-top: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCheck availability at your local Canadian independent bookstore:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"tbm_shop_local\" data-options=\"{\n 'api_key' : '5XHiEK69GWj88UM4tjoZ9DkEoo9MFauV',\n 'product_code' : '9781770414426',\n 'distance_km' : '100',\n 'label' : 'Shop Local',\n 'request_location' : 'true',\n 'image' : 'https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Shop_Local_Button.png'\n }\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cscript src=\"https:\/\/bookmanager.com\/public\/api\/tbm-shop-local.js\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px;padding-top: 10px;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eRemember that most stores can easily order books they don’t currently have in stock.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"padding-top: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sans-serif-special\"\u003eBUY FROM ECW PRESS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Howell\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is a staff writer for Space.com.
