Episode Details

Jeremy Hansen, Canada’s first astronaut to orbit the moon and a 32-year military veteran, is stepping down from his full-time role at the Canadian Space Agency to join the Royal Canadian Air Force as a reservist — a move that lets him continue shaping Canada’s space future while staying ready to serve his country. After a historic Artemis II mission that made him the first non-American to travel beyond low Earth orbit, Hansen is embracing a new chapter, praised by Prime Minister Mark Carney for uniting Canadians and redefining what’s possible in space. His journey began at age 12 in the Air Cadets and culminated in a legacy that bridges aviation, science, and national pride.
