Jameel Janjua: "This is how we get to Mach 3".

Jameel Janjua, a Canadian pilot, applied to be a Canadian Space Agency astronaut in 2009 and 2016 but was not selected. Instead, he found a different path to space through Virgin Galactic. Janjua believes that the commercial space industry provides opportunities for a diverse range of voices and backgrounds. He recently flew with Virgin Galactic and described the experience as both a technical and human achievement. Janjua emphasizes the importance of determination and encourages young people to pursue their dreams. He is now preparing for the forthcoming Delta program with Virgin Galactic, which aims to achieve commercial space service by 2026. [Extracted from the article]
