Artemis II Mission Highlights â Infographic
This infographic showcases highlights of the Artemis II crewed test flight from April 1 to 10, 2026. During this historic mission, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen became the first Canadian to be part of a lunar mission. The crew went over 400,000 km from Earth, farther than any humans before them. It was the first mission to the Moon since the Apollo program more than 50 years ago.

My introduction to Jo Waltonâs work was TOOTH AND CLAW. Havenât read it? It takes the social mores of Victorian England and expands them, delightfully, to dragons. Had me hooked by the end of the second page. And she is a guest of honor at MontrĂ©al 2027 Worldcon! Canât wait!

In my mind the debate of book vs. movie always comes down on the side of book. With the notable exception of âThe Princess Brideâ proving the rule. At MontrĂ©al 2027 Worldcon you can find people who share your exceptions, and probably even more people to argue with about theirs.

One of the beauties of science fiction is it is often aspirational. It takes the idea that humans can be better and runs (or flies) away with it. At Montréal 2027 Worldcon discover indie and traditional authors who can lift you higher.

Which came first, the science or the fiction? Are scientific discoveries spurred on by science fiction, or are writers inspired by existing technology? Or both? Whichever point of view you espouse, you can find like-minded people at Montréal 2027 Worldcon. See you there!
