Space Strategy on Pause and an Update on Astronaut David Saint-Jacques’ Flight

In this weeks SpaceQ podcast I speak with freelance journalist Elizabeth Howell about last weeks Canadian Aerospace Summit and on David Saint-Jacques’ upcoming mission to the International Space Station.

Elizabeth is a contributor to SpaceQ along with writing for several other publications. She’s also a journalism instructor at Carleton University, the University of Ottawa, Algonquin College and La Cite collégiale.

Elizabeth will be heading to the Baikonour Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan next week to cover the launch of Expedition 58 to the International Space Station. Onboard will be Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques who will be on a six month mission. That’s one of the topics we’ll discuss this week.

We also discus last weeks Canadian Aerospace Summit in Ottawa that featured prominent cabinet ministers including Transportation Minister Marc Garneau and ISED Minister Navdeep Bains. Also at the summit, and key to what did or didn’t transpire, was NASA’s administrator Jim Bridenstine.
