Childhood and Family

• Julie Payette is one of Canadas female
  astronauts. Julies childhood and family were
  likely very much like yours and mine. First,
  Julie was born on October 20, 1963, in Montreal,
  Quebec. She had a typical childhood. Later, Julie
  got married to an engineering professor named
  Francois Brissette. As you probably already
  guessed, Julie is about 40 years of age yet this
  young woman has already made her mark on Canadian
  history.

  career, she had to work on many different
  projects to get where she is today. Also, during
  Julies training she researched activities on the
  computer system that had happened between the

In Her Spare Time

  that it is surprising that she has any spare time
  at all. However, she does lead a very active life
  outside of her career. For example, she enjoys
  sports such as scuba-diving, and skating. Also,
  Julie sings in the Montreal Symphonic Orchestra
  Chamber Choir, and when she has time she enjoys
  playing the piano. Julie has become an expert in

  the end, Julie is enjoying her time and is
  savoring every moment of it.
