Bains responds after 8-year-old Quebec girl applies to astronaut program
MONTREAL — When she heard the Canadian Space Agency is looking to recruit new astronauts, eight-year-old Sahana Khatri figured she just might be what they’re looking for.
The Quebec girl spent a little more than a week working on her application before presenting it to her local representative, Vaudreuil-Soulanges MP Peter Schiefke.
In a video Schiefke posted to his Facebook page, Khatri can be seen reading aloud from her letter, which was addressed to Innovation and Science Minister Navdeep Bains.
“For a long time, I’ve wanted to be an astronaut,” the she reads.
