We Built a Budget Planner Spreadsheet for Canadian Households — Here's What's Inside

  If you've been reading our RRSP/TFSA/FHSA and household budgeting pieces, you already know the line we keep coming back to: a plan is only as good as your ability to actually track it. So we built something to close that gap.

Artemis II: Humanity Nears the Moon Again After 50 Years

 

NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman and Victor Glover greet each other next to NASA astronaut Christina Koch and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, at Kennedy Space Centre, in Cape Canaveral, Florida.


NASA is preparing to send astronauts back toward the Moon for the first time in more than half a century, marking a major milestone in the Artemis program. The Artemis II mission will launch four astronauts—three Americans and one Canadian—on a 10‑day journey around the Moon, testing the 

A Historic Return to Deep Space

Artemis II is NASA’s first crewed lunar flyby since Apollo 17 in 1972. The mission will take the crew deeper into space than any humans have traveled before, looping around the Moon and returning to Earth. This flight is designed to validate life‑support systems, navigation, and deep‑space operations in preparation for a planned lunar landing in 2028. 

The Crew Leading the Way

The four‑member team includes Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen. Their journey will mark several firsts: Koch will be the first woman to travel to the Moon’s vicinity, Glover the first person of color, and Hansen the first non‑American. 

Why Artemis II Matters

Beyond its symbolic return to lunar exploration, Artemis II is a crucial step in NASA’s long‑term goal of establishing a sustained human presence on the Moon and eventually sending astronauts to Mars. The mission also plays a strategic role as the U.S. faces growing competition from China’s rapidly advancing lunar program. 

If all goes as planned, Artemis II will pave the way for humanity’s next giant leap—returning to the lunar surface and pushing onward into the solar system.
