Canada had a relatively advanced space program of its own in 1969 although it did not attract the kind of attention the moon landing did.

And Julie Payette, the governor general who acts as head of state on Queen Elizabeth II’s behalf, is another former member of the country’s corps of astronauts. Much of what Canada does in space today still doesn’t involve astronauts. I asked Sarah Gallagher, a professor of physics and astronomy at Western University in London, Ontario, about the value of the costly business of sending people into space. “In the same way that science is a human imperative, exploration is as well,” said Professor Gallagher, who is also the Canadian Space Agency’s science adviser. “What’s underappreciated is how motivating the grand projects are.” Canadians continue to go to the International Space Station. Last month David St. Jacques returned from 204 days in space, a record for a Canadian.

[Buzz Aldrin during the first moon landing.] Buzz Aldrin during the first moon landing. Neil Armstrong/NASA In her essay, Professor Lepore found that one value of sending people to space was that their experiences led to a greater awareness of the fragility of earth’s environment. “But here’s the hitch,” she wrote. “It’s been 50 years. The waters are rising. The Earth needs guarding, and not only by people who’ve seen it from space. Saving the planet requires not racing to the moon again, or to Mars, but to the White House and up the steps of the Capitol, putting one foot in front of the other.” ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfDDFXP0RxaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MjA3NjE2JmxpPUNOREEmbT1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZwPUNOREFfMjAxOTA3MTJXA255dEIKACdXrCldMUE9J1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfDDFXP0RxaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MjA3NjE3JmxpPUNOREEmbT1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZwPUNOREFfMjAxOTA3MTJXA255dEIKACdXrCldMUE9J1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfDDFXP0RxaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MjA3NjE4JmxpPUNOREEmbT1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZwPUNOREFfMjAxOTA3MTJXA255dEIKACdXrCldMUE9J1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA Trans Canada ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfDDFXP4QbAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDcvMTIvd29ybGQvY2FuYWRhL3JhYmJpLWxpc2EtZ3J1c2hjb3ctbW9udHJlYWwuaHRtbD9lbV9wb3M9c21hbGwmcmVmPWltZyZubF9hcnQ9MCZ0ZT0xJm5sPWNhbmFkYS10b2RheSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbmRhXzIwMTkwNzEzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwODg4JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUxODMmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyYz1lZGl0X2NuZGFfMjAxOTA3MTNXA255dEIKACdXrCldMUE9J1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA [Gay and Once Divorced, a Canadian Rabbi Broadens Judaism’s Tent](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfDDFXP4QgAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDcvMTIvd29ybGQvY2FuYWRhL3JhYmJpLWxpc2EtZ3J1c2hjb3ctbW9udHJlYWwuaHRtbD9lbV9wb3M9c21hbGwmcmVmPWhlYWRsaW5lJm5sX2FydD0wJnRlPTEmbmw9Y2FuYWRhLXRvZGF5JmVtYz1lZGl0X2NuZGFfMjAxOTA3MTM_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA4ODgmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTE4MyZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTJjPWVkaXRfY25kYV8yMDE5MDcxM1cDbnl0QgoAJ1esKV0xQT0nUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) The first openly gay rabbi of a large synagogue in Canada told Dan Bilefsky that “Coming out brought me closer to God.” ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfDDFXP4QuAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDcvMTIvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9iYW50bGVtYW4tY2FuYWRhLXRlYWNoZXItaW5kb25lc2lhLWFidXNlLWNsZW1lbmN5Lmh0bWw_ZW1fcG9zPXNtYWxsJnJlZj1pbWcmbmxfYXJ0PTEmdGU9MSZubD1jYW5hZGEtdG9kYXkmZW1jPWVkaXRfY25kYV8yMDE5MDcxMz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDg4OCZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MTgzJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MmM9ZWRpdF9jbmRhXzIwMTkwNzEzVwNueXRCCgAnV6wpXTFBPSdSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~ [Indonesia Frees Canadian Accused of Using Magical Powers to Abuse Children](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfDDFXP4QzAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDcvMTIvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9iYW50bGVtYW4tY2FuYWRhLXRlYWNoZXItaW5kb25lc2lhLWFidXNlLWNsZW1lbmN5Lmh0bWw_ZW1fcG9zPXNtYWxsJnJlZj1oZWFkbGluZSZubF9hcnQ9MSZ0ZT0xJm5sPWNhbmFkYS10b2RheSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbmRhXzIwMTkwNzEzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwODg4JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUxODMmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyYz1lZGl0X2NuZGFfMjAxOTA3MTNXA255dEIKACdXrCldMUE9J1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) Neil Bantleman, the Canadian teacher who was accused of using magical powers to abuse children and was sentenced to 11 years in prison by an Indonesian court, has been freed after serving five years and has returned home.
