What is Canada's future in space?

Astronaut Chris Hadfield's goals are clear over the next six months, particularly when he becomes the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station in March, but much less certain is the country's future in space over the coming decade.

    Hadfield's mission is one for the history books. First time the ISS has been commanded by someone other than an American or Russian.

    We should be spending more money on our Space Program. We are capable of doing so much more than we currently are.

    No offense, but where North Korea has launched their own satellite I'd feel a little behind the curve, too.

    Unless we plan on launching our own rockets, don't waste the money on stuff that will be controlled by somebody else.

    And, we don't have the budget for that.

    Expanding our technological base is great, in theory, but does jack squat unless we are actively using that technology. Which, will never really happen until we can launch independent missions.

    Fort Churchill was our launch site, built back in the 50's. We have launched a few since then. ;)

    The NK satellite appears to have problems.
