Canada and the United States have been close collaborators in space exploration for over six decades. I was happy to highlight this important relation at the Canada-US Summit today.

#MoonJoy was in full effect during the #ArtemisII crew’s visit to Canada this week. 🌕🇨🇦 What stood out most wasn’t just the mission, but the humanity and camaraderie behind it. Big, ambitious goals are achieved through teamwork, humility, and taking care of one another every step of the way. Thank you to @spacecanada and the @csa_asc for hosting such an inspiring event last evening with some of this generation’s greatest heroes. @Astro_Jeremy @astro_reid @Astro_Christina @Astro_Jenni @AstroVicGlover

Every time I look up at the Moon now, even the one at Space Center Houston, it feels different. It’s no longer just a distant light in the night sky — it’s a place I’ve studied up close with my own eyes. I find myself tracing its features, recognizing the shadows, the craters, the quiet stories written across its surface. The Moon hasn’t changed, but now when I observe it, it comes back to life in my mind with a new and treasured perspective.
