Canada s approach to lunar exploration needs to be strategic In partnership with mardi, 23 avril 2019 à 16:15 - Should Canada go to the moon? What’s there for Canadians? It is these questions that we should ponder when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently announced that Canada will be participating in the new space exploration vision. As a professor of space robotics at a Canadian university, I should welcome this news, but I am not so sure. The United States Lunar Gateway is an incremental progression from the International Space Station (ISS) that has dominated American (and Canadian) human spaceflight for the past few decades. Of course, the history of the ISS has been mired in controversy it was expensive, purposeless, took decades to design, re-design and finally build. It has neither yielded any great scientific advances nor has it advanced human Mars exploration as originally proposed.
