Congrats to fellow Canadian Jeremy Hansen. The CNN article is funny as they call going to the Moon deep space lol I guess it's all relative.

Hansen, 47, is a fighter pilot who was selected by the Canadian Space Agency for astronaut training in 2009. From London, Ontario, Hansen is one of only four active Canadian astronauts, and he recently became the first Canadian to be put in charge of training for a new class of NASA astronauts.

He will be the first Canadian ever to travel to deep space.
