Hello, Team Canada!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m Canadian Space Agency astronaut Colonel Jeremy Hansen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After years of sacrifice, determination and resilience, you will be competing in the coming days at the highest level in your sport.<\/p>\n
I hope you are proud of your incredible achievements.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Like you, I\u2019ve been preparing most of my life for my own kind of Olympics \u2013 going to space. Soon, after years of hard work, I will get to live out my dream as I fly around the Moon aboard the Artemis II mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Canada will become only the second country ever to send an astronaut around the Moon, and I have the privilege of representing our country on this historic mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And like you, I will be wearing Canada\u2019s flag with pride and honour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wish you all the best of luck and a great 2026 Winter Olympics journey!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Go Canada!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
