Marc Garneau was Canada 's first astronaut in space in 1984 .
Garneau flew three times in space, on shuttle missions STS-41G, ST-77 and ST-97 .
He later was a Canadian government minister — and even CSA president.
He says he's amazed that CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen has been assigned to the Artemis 2 moon mission.
Garneau : "What stays with you your whole life is looking out the window and seeing planet Earth " Garneau was one of the first foreign astronauts on the NASA space shuttle.
"I wanted, to put it bluntly, to make [ Canada ] proud," he says.
"If I screwed up badly, it would leave NASA with questions about whether it was a good idea to use Canadians as astronauts".
Garneau : "It gave me a huge amount of pride being a Canadian , to operate that Canadarm and to capture a free-flying payload" Garneau says Canada has come a long way since his first flight 40 years ago .
"Space has been a very powerful tool in helping to improve the lives of Canadians ," he says.
