International space station was described as his “home away
from Earth” in a NASA youtube video. The first Canadian Captain of the
International Space Station, Chris Hadfield unveiled the new $5.00 bill.
These new note are made of polymer, which is said to be
resistant to counterfeiters. The new bills brilliantly display Canada’s
accomplishments in space and technology. One side of the note is space themed.
It shows Canadarm2 of the Space Station . It also depicts the Dextre robot, a
representative of Canada’s achievements in robots-which are mentioned by
Hadfield in the video.
Canada is rightfully proud of their achievements. Hadfield
points out the fact that they have recently achieved the record of most hours
of research conducted in space. He says that they are currently involved in
around 130 experiments. He personally is involved in experiments concerning
cardiovascular health and the effects of radiation.
