Two newest astronauts moonstruck as Canada looks beyond space station
MONTREAL — It’s a far-out dream that Canada’s two newest astronauts are hoping will come true: orbiting the moon within the next decade or so.
In fact, Joshua Kutryk and Jennifer Sidey are already looking beyond the International Space Station as they begin two years of intense basic training.
In an interview from Houston on Tuesday, Kutryk pointed out that Canada is committed to the space station until 2024 along with its international partners.
But the 35-year-old Albertan said the plan for what will happen after is already starting to be defined.
