On 5 October 1984, Marc Garneau became Canada's first astronaut when he
rocketed into space from a launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida. In
doing so, Garneau became a national hero. Seven of his fellow citizens
followed in his footsteps, many more than once. Julie Payette, a young
mother and adventurer from Montreal was the first Canadian woman to
visit the International Space Station. Chris Hadfield, a former fighter
pilot from Ontario, was the first Canadian to do a spacewalk, while
Saskatchewan-born Doctor Dave Williams performed surgery on test
animals while his shuttle sped around the globe. This book was written
as a 25th anniversary tribute to these brave men and women who defied
tremendous odds, risked their lives, and soared from earth on sheets of
flame. By leaving the only planet known to be habitable, they became
true explorers in an ever-expanding universe we will never completely
know.
