I believe that Bondar had the greatest over all impact because she
has had so many special honors. Wile being the first Canadian women
in space is all well and good, I doesnt really impact us as people as
well as the other things she has done. Its more of a hey Im first sort
of thing, but the things she has accomplished just dominates What
Bowell has done. Though he is a great Canadian, he is more of a local
hero then a Canadian icon such as Bondar is. Though I believe
everyone is made for a purpose and has a plan for them set out by God
himself, but in this comparison report I am going with Bondar.
