Yup, three shuttle missions and almost 700 hours in space, he also worked as a NASA flight controller for a number of other shuttle missions.
Amazing man who truly lived a full life, a naval combat engineer on a destroyer and even a Captain and Commander in the Canadian Forces.
In the end a true hero for Canadian kids dreaming of being an astronaut.
