René Cantin

My name is René Cantin, 53 years old, french-speaking from Montréal Québec. I'm a mechanical designer in the paper industry. My passion, for as long as I can remember, has been airplanes. I obtained a private licence in 1977 and I have been flying since then. One day, when I was maybe nine or ten, the front page of the newspaper had a beautiful, enlarged picture of the Moon craters.Wow!! What a discovery. I know, now. that those beautiful pictures were from the Ranger probe before hitting the Moon. And that was the beginning of my passion about the U.S space program. I have an extensive library of books and video about eveything I can find on space.
