Spaceq

My special guest this week is William “Mac" Evans. Mac, as most people refer to him, is a thirty plus year veteran of the Canadian space program and in 2016 became a member of the order of Canada. He helped create the Canadian Space Agency, negotiated Canada’s participation in the International Space Station Program and was the longest serving president of the Canadian Space Agency.Today we’ll be talking about some of the history of Canada’s space program to better understand how we got to where we are today. We’ll also discuss space strategy and planning and what direction Mac thinks the program should take. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
