Don’t be fooled, spacewalks may seem routine, but venturing out into the vacuum of space is very serious business. The entire team will be on high alert to manage the risk, get the tasks done, and keep the crew safe. I’m super excited to see @Astro_Kutryk outside the @Space_Station on his first spacewalk on October 29 with @astro_anil!
On pourrait être tenté de croire que les sorties dans l’espace sont routinières, mais s’aventurer dans le vide spatial est une affaire très sérieuse. Toute l’équipe sera en état d’alerte maximale pour gérer les risques, accomplir les tâches et assurer la sécurité de l’équipage. J’ai vraiment hâte de voir Josh à l’extérieur de la Station spatiale internationale le 29 octobre pour sa première sortie dans l’espace avec Anil!

Going out into the thermal vacuum of the universe to build more powerful solar arrays onto the International Space Station. Notice every detail, @Astro_Kutryk!

On March 26, 2000, the song Blame Canada from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut was nominated for Best Original Song at the Oscars.
But that night something also debuted that became an immediate hit.
The I Am Canadian Rant.
This is the story.

Dr. Ziegler reminds us that Jesus is well aware of our tendency to compare ourselves to others.
But God doesn’t see the world through the lens of competition and meritocracy, but by grace. Jesus came down to give us God’s gift, God’s treasure: Himself.

I wish all Americans would listen to this speech, given yesterday (Sep. 11) in Gander, by former Canadian Prime Minister Chrétien. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli
youtube.com/watch?v=AO-Yx-59…
In the preamble he described how the population of Gander almost doubled, hosting the stranded passengers bound to the US. He described how Canadians felt: “Our closest friend was attacked. We said it was an attack on us too. And we fought back side by side.”
Then he concludes: “Canada is a generous, open country, and Canadians are tolerant and kind. But never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never mistake our kindness for softness.” 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli
