Henry Wolfond returned from space Friday determined to go back.

“I can’t wait to go again,” he said moments after his ride, a New Shepard capsule operated by Blue Origin, landed in the West Texas desert near the spaceport from which it had launched just 10 minutes earlier.

Gesturing to his wife, Rochelle Reichert, he added: “She’s coming with me next time.”

The newly minted Canadian astronaut is also chairman and CEO of Bayshore Capital in Toronto, and chair of the Confronting Antisemitism Committee of the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto.
