provide the needed Edge in the Market for the what was once accomplished on sea and air must now be orchestrated in military elite and Canada is struggling to stay in the the Canadian military has been teaching its troops about the aerospace Field everything from the science of flight to electronic warfare for More than 40 in a More coordinated approach was launched with the establishment of the school of aerospace studies at cab base and a few months As part of the ongoing process of ensuring the Canadian military is truly on top of a new course was added to the program that recognizes the fast growing importance of the world beyond the earths at a recent 18 considered the elite of the military sit in the second floor classroom in the bases Mawdesley there discussing everything from the Laws of putting things into orbit to classified information on the capacity of military equipment to photograph minute details on the these men have been chosen because their talents and ambitions appear to be leading them to the upper echelons of the military their backgrounds cover the they Are air traffic air weapons and aerospace and communications policy direction it is expected that once they reach the those who take this course will use the knowledge they gain to influence Canadas military direction in be it to buy new equipment or to influence government to move in an entirely new policy direction some time in the Distant the course is designed to train canadians who have to have an understanding of what space can do for you and against you in the context of their daily the schools first commanding Joe whether we Are cognizant of the fact or it space affects everything we the bad Guys Campaigne Points out the military implications of space at a special aerospace course in use and the Good Guys use it and it is a fact of our Job is to teach an awareness of what space can do for you or to you if you Are not sensitive to like Many of the nations military Canadas involvement in space is intimately connected to its defence agreements with the United throughout the courses introductory class Jelle Blom jointly refers to the and Canada As we Are tied by and by the fact that we cant afford to do our own space to the he As far As defence is concerned if it we rent we would be that relationship is underlined during the opening moments of the cab space class with the showing of an american guardians of the High despite reassurances throughout the 16minute film that the intent is not to militarize Len Campaigne tells his students we Are on the threshold of being militarized in space and that is a pretty serious thing to think Campaigne while Canada rejects the strategic defence initiative Star wars and the notion of weapons in it is essential that the Canadian military understand those systems the same Way we understand the world of nuclear Sharpe we know a lot about nuclear weapons and if were going to live and operate in a world where they Are going to be it is essential that we do he the same philosophy on the space Side is that although we Arent involved in its incumbent upon us to understand it if we Are going to be military i suspect it will mean an awful lot to us in the Long beyond Canada works directly with americans on much of their military space arrangements include offering personnel for radar command posts around the world to providing technical knowhow and Sharpe says Canadas place in the aerospace world is slowly fading due to a Lack of graduate engineers across the and that this May end up being a dangerous unless we understand what this Arena can do for us and against we Are going to be in a lot of trouble if someone starts to shoot at he politicians the Federal governments recent announcement of the establishment of a space Agency in Montreal and the new space course Are viewed by the military As positive Steps toward stemming that Sharpe believes that one of the most inexpensive investments in the multimillion Dollar space Industry is once we have educated people we can spend those hardware dollars More he somewhere in this country in this military has to be Able to advise our government

35hour Blom it is the sheer scale of what is already going on in the hardest thing we seem to have to grasp is that things Are flying Over us daily and they Are not he they Are controlled by other people who Are gathering information based on the fact that they can just listen As they go tallest Hill he says he Hopes the students walk away with a new awareness of Why the tens of thousands of pieces of equipment already circling above the Earth Are needed and How the world will change because of it used to be that the Guy who had the tallest Hill who could see the most would know the most about the Battle As it developed or about the world As it Blom our fear to lose out in the race is a bit of what drives and if we dont pursue someone else and if they have we will never again be Able

the tapes and Ive done them i think Kathy Smiths tapes Are Good i like Kathy a but Ive noticed that we definitely have different what i like about my tapes is that there you get the kind of hit that you get when you go to a there Are More theres More participation with the people in the viewers can feel like they Are in a theres whooping and hollering Fonda links fitness Success to group and a lot of High Energy going and i think the actual Steps Are Many of the exercises Are the same in so Many different tapes on the so what it really comes Down to is How Well does the class flow and How Well Are the exercises explained so that you know what youre doing and dont get and i think Ive gotten very Good at that better than i was in the also people like my they feel that in supportive and i explain and in also forgiving in Case there not great at the Steps in the q How is this one different from your other videos Fonda what weve tried to do in this one is make it either easier or harder

we have to stay abreast of whats happening because were doing it every Day with hundreds of so we know what kind of music and what different techniques Are being q Are you the sole creative Force behind these tapes Fonda its partly me and partly Dan Kosich program and partly Monica who is my teacher and Trainer and one of my main chore q and what about the Little Tou like the claymation title
