Garnot made history when he flew on the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1984. Roberta Bondar was the first Canadian woman in space. For Mark, it was not just him showing Canadians that we had a place and a role in Canada in the space program, but it was also really to show the Americans that we had not just the talent of a Canadarm,

but we had people who could back it up. That was really an important step for Mark and for all of us to be able to see that. Garnot later entered Canadian politics as a Liberal MP and cabinet minister. Prime Minister Mark Carney says may we all remember him for the national pride and possibility he represented to us all.
