Not that I have seen, but former NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said: Marc Garneau, Canadian Astronaut has died at age 76. He was a trailblazer in our space relationship with Canada and the robotic arm on the shuttle. In Parliament he headed Transport and the Foreign Ministry. Jeremy Hansen who will fly to the moon, follows this Canadian champion. And since he was mentioned, Jeremy Hansen said: The news of Marc Garneau's passing sits heavy. He represents many aspirational traits, and I'm so grateful for his leadership and mentorship. Authentic human, competent and caring. |
