Star-Gazing With Christy<\/strong> A G-man, a Guider, an aspiring Martian?!? Christy was one of 75 Canadians shortlisted for the Mars-One project<\/a> to colonize Mars in 2025. She cannot over-state how important space exploration is. For starters, it spurs all sorts of innovation that makes Earth a better place. Making the Earth a better place is a motto she tries to live in all aspects of her life. She works with Alberta’s Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development<\/a> trying to protect our environment today and ensuring that the future environment is protected too. She also is passionate about working with young teens as a Pathfinder leader with the Girl Guides of Canada. Girl Guides<\/a> helped inspire her when she was young and she wants other girls to be inspired as well.
