36 New Brunswickers in Running to Become Astronauts

36 New Brunswickers are among the nearly 4-thousand people across the country vying to be one of Canada’s next astronauts. The Canadian Space Agency says 3,772 Canadians successfully completed the application process for two positions and a chance to go into space. The pool of applicants will be reduced through a series of interviews and tests over the next year and the two winners, Canada’s next astronauts, will be announced next summer.
