Mike's top five

There are reports that we could see a shortage in Canada of workers in the space industry because young people today aren’t taking the science courses they would need. Aside from stratagizing about which Jedi power you should use to defeat the Roberta Bondar army in your mock space battle, here are Mike's top five other cool things about working in Canada's space industry.
#5. Teasing Bob Thirsk about having to get a ride to the ISS in a Ruskie rocket.
#4. Space coffee is just better than earth coffee.
#3. Dramatically counting backwards from 10 to 1 in your big-boy voice everytime someone asks you where you work.
#2. Commenting on friend's Facebook posts that they are so 'terrestrial'.
#1. I don't know.. something about 'a huge rocket launching into space' and compensating for something..

• What else are you going to do with that Masters of Science in experimental pathology, that Ph.D in neuroscience and that 'B+' in quantum physics?!
• You get to sit around and BS with Marc Garneau all day.
