   Keep a focus on human spaceflight. Of course the CSA has to dovetail to NASA, but the advantages of our human space program so far are obvious. The Canadarm 2 is featured in almost every great picture from the ISS, with the Canada logo front and center. Chris Hatfield is an inspiration to a whole generation of kids. We are currently “punching above our weight” in the human space program, and we should continue to strive to do that.
