After ten days of live streaming, he Quimper Hitty cupboard is suffering from Artemis Integrity withdrawal…now we are watching some reruns!

We loved the Canadian Space Agency’s public relations event with the astronauts on Day 8 – Jeremy Hansen reflected on teachings from elders, and spirit animals that embody Courage, Humility, Respect, Love, Honesty, Wisdom and Truth…He says he tries to live every day in integrity…what a special guy.
