\u201cCanada has a lot to supply as we go for a sustained lunar presence. And it was really dawning on me as I used to be listening to Jeremy [Hansen] and the prime minister talk, you [Canadians] all do exactly what we’d like done on the lunar surface,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re heavy within the tech, you\u2019re heavy within the people, you\u2019re heavy into culture. You will have these areas of your nation that it is advisable to go service to maintain people alive. It’s good to get food [\u2026] clothing, shelter there [to the moon],\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the stuff you\u2019re doing here and the way in which you all look after one another and look after us is strictly what we’d like as we start a sustainable presence on the lunar surface.\u201d<\/p>\n
