Canadians in Space & a New Release from Jessica E. Subject #scifirom

If you've read any of my books, you know I love science fiction romance. I write about aliens on Earth, but also about traveling through space. And although not as well known as NASA, Canada does have the Canadian Space Agency where Canadians with enough experience can be selected to become an astronaut and train for upcoming missions.

Some of the Canadian astronauts include:

Roberta Bondar (Sault Ste Marie, Ontario)
She was 1 of 6 Canadian astronauts selected in 1983 to begin astronaut training.
In 1992, she flew on Space Shuttle Discovery as the Prime Payload Specialist for the first International Microgravity Laboratory Mission.

Marc Garneau (Quebec City, Quebec)
Also 1 of 6 Canadian astronauts selected in 1983 to begin astronaut training.
He was the first Canadian astronaut to fly as a Payload Specialist (1984) and he also served time as the President of the Canadian Space Agency.

Julie Payette (Montreal, Quebec)
She flew on Space Shuttle Discovery in 1999 as part of the crew that performed the first manual docking to the International Space Station, delivering four tons of supplies. As part of this mission, she was the first Canadian to participate in an ISS assembly mission and the first Canadian to board the ISS.

Chris Hadfield (Sarnia/Milton, Ontario)
Perhaps the most famous Canadian astronaut to date, he brought the world to the International Space Station through social media, and made space even cooler. He was selected to join the Canadian Space Agency in 1992 and sent to NASA Johnson Space Center the same year for training. His first space flight occured in 1995. He is the only Canadian to ever board the MIR space station, and in 2013, he was the first Canadian to command a spaceship as Commander of the International Space Station.





With my new release, HIS ALIEN VIRGIN, space travel is much easier. The story starts on a foreign planet, before being set on Earth.
