     The visit of the space shuttle Enterprise, to Ottawa Uplands Airforce
base last week,was,in my opinion,a total success.I believe I speak for many,
who either saw the shuttle "in the flesh" at Ottawa,or watched the shuttle
fly over Toronto,when I say a very big "Thankyou" to the U.S. and NASA for
the courtesy visit of the Enterprise.The event was so successful,that
the Canadian government has finally confirmed that we will be training one,
and possibly a second Canadian astronaut,to fly aboard the shuttle,on a future
flight.This event shows the positive side,of what can be achieved through
international cooperation in the quest for space.The shuutle was on view
from June 8-10,near the National Aerospace Establishment wind tunnel,at
Uplands air force base,Ottawa,Canada.Here's to a successful seventh launch
of a space shuutle,on June eighteenth. Thankyou, Miles Leech
