The rate of the rent?

Hey Chris! Congrats on becoming the first Canadian to command the ISS. As a fellow Canadian I gotta know, what's in store for the future of the Canadian space program? Is there any point hoping for a Canadian shuttle or moon landing in my lifetime, or should we just keep on bragging about the Arm? Thanks for doing the AMA and good luck on your mission!

It's been years since the U.S. has won a Nobel Prize in Literature, allegedly due to the insular focus of American writers on their own lives and country. Is there something to be said for "writing what you know" and sticking to themes and content familiar to oneself, or do you prefer writers who experiment and write books more universal or remote to themselves? Are there any American authors you think are doing that?

Awesome, thanks for the recommendations!
