The da Vinci Project is lead by Team leader Brian
Feeney and is comprised of more than 600 Aerospace Engineering
and Business Professionals. The main Team is located in Toronto,
Ontario with Engineering and Ground Operation Teams located in
Montreal, Quebec and Regina, Saskatchewan and other parts of
the world.
What is hard to show though is the incredible effort of those
more than 600 people from across Canada and around the world who
have volunteered well in excess of 150,000 man hours to make the
dream a reality. The da Vinci Project is the largest volunteer
technology based project in world history. Together we are fulfilling
the passionate dream of an individual as shared by everyone. The
projects name sake, Leonardo da Vinci, was chosen as it represented
the vast array of talents needed to accomplish the manned space
flights missions. It also is core to the mission of inspiring people
of all ages and especially youth to drive for and accomplish their
dreams, whatever they maybe, however difficult and great the challenge
may present, however small or large the paradigm may result thereof.
This is something everyone can identity with. Raw ingenuity and
drive, not willing to give up regardless of the hurtles. People
from all ages and walks of life will look at this project and take
a piece of it into their own lives!
To everyone that has been involved in the project over the past
9 plus years, to the volunteers, our sponsors and new supporters
to come, thank you for helping to make the dream a reality. I will
stay the course. Failure is not an option.
