 \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@cotesaintlucpubliclibrary \n\nTitle: A Most 
 Extraordinary Ride: Space\, Politics\, and the Pursuit of a Canadian Dream 
 \n\nOn October 5\, 1984\, Marc Garneau made history. Blasting off from the 
 Kennedy Space Center aboard the U.S. Space Shuttle and reaching a speed of 
 28\,000 km/hour\, he became the first Canadian to fly to outer space. That 
 monumental achievement\, now etched in Canadian history as one of our 
 country’s proudest moments\, inspired a nation and ushered in a new era 
 of space exploration for Canada. Twenty-four years later\, Garneau made 
 history yet again\, becoming the first astronaut to be elected as a Member 
 of Parliament. In between those two milestones in Garneau’s unprecedented 
 career\, he was the first Canadian\, and the first non-American\, to serve 
 as CAPCOM\, the voice of Mission Control for the astronauts aboard the 
 Space Shuttle. In the years that followed his historic first voyage to 
 space\, Garneau returned to space two more times\, becoming the first 
 Canadian to log three trips into orbit\, and led the Canadian Space Agency 
 through its most dynamic years. In the House of Commons\, Garneau would 
 ultimately serve in two cabinet posts as Minister of Transport and Minister 
 of Foreign Affairs in A Most Extraordinary Ride: Space\, Politics\, and the 
 Pursuit of a Canadian Dream\, Garneau chronicles his once-improbable ascent 
 from a mischievous teenager and rebellious naval midshipman to a decorated 
 astronaut and statesman who represented Canada on the world stage – both 
 on and off the planet.
