Happy birthday to the first Canadian in space, Marc Garneau! Join us in wishing him an amazing day! ✨ Get to know this true Canadian space icon : asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronauts…

The first powered flight in Canada was made by John McCurdy in "Silver Dart" on #TDIH in 1909. Built by Alexander Graham Bell's Aerial Experiment Association, the aircraft's name was inspired by the silver-looking rubberized fabric that covered it.

The last signal from NASA's Spirit Mars rover was received 15 years ago today on March 22, 2010. This is its last color picture, looking down at the ground around its partially-buried wheel, taken three weeks earlier.

Marc Garneau, the first Canadian to fly into space, has died. He flew into space three times from 1984 to 2000. He spent 29 days, 2 hours and 1 minute in space. Garneau later served in Parliament from 2008 to 2023.

On June 4, 2025, Canada lost a remarkable figure. Marc Garneau made history in Canadian space exploration. As the first Canadian astronaut in space, he inspired generations to dream big. We celebrate a life lived in pursuit of knowledge, service, discovery and excellence.

Happy #CanadaDay! 🍁 For @astro_jeremy, being Canadian shaped his dreams and passion for space. He will represent Canada on the historic Artemis II mission in 2026.
