Hi everyone, I'm Joshua Kutryk,
Canadian Space Agency astronaut.
I'm currently training for a mission
to the International Space Station,
where I'll have the unique opportunity
to live and to work for about six months.
And I can tell you from experience
that the space sector
goes far beyond astronauts -
it's a diverse and a growing field.
So if you're interested in space,
I hope that you realize
how lucky you are to be growing up
at this point in history.
The space sector is expanding quickly,
and there are so many
new opportunities ahead.
We need people with different strengths:
designing spacecraft, studying
human health in extreme environments,
managing projects, finding innovative ways
to use satellite data,
and sharing discoveries and the excitement
of space with the public.
There are so many paths
where you can contribute to the space sector.
For me, the space sector is a universe
of opportunities to build a better tomorrow.
The challenges ahead,
both here on Earth and beyond,
require your creativity, your persistence,
and a wide range of perspectives.
So I encourage you to keep pursuing
what excites you.
Your skills and passion
are exactly what the future needs.
