"In August of this year, Rahul Goel will stand on the rocky cliffs of St. Lawrence, NL, watching a plume of fire rip across the sky.
If everything goes right, his company, NordSpace, will make history by orchestrating Canada’s first commercial rocket launch.
Canada was the fourth nation in the world to launch a satellite into space, helped pioneer aerospace engineering, and famously built the Canadarm. But for all its expertise, Canada has never launched a rocket from its own soil. Every satellite, every national security payload, every commercial launch is outsourced, mostly to the US."

I’ll bet you are fine with celebrities using private jets to fly everywhere without thinking of the impact on the environment. Taylor Swift should be fined to shit for the amount she’s polluting with her tours.
I’m against the privatization of environmental disasters and the CEOs lack of accountability.
I’ll bet you’re not worth engaging with because you view the world in childish black and white terms.
Cute. Thinking someone wants to engage with you
Clearly you hate jets, so flying jets to deliver medicines to sick children are a bad thing? You are a horrible person.
Two can play at the wilful misunderstanding game…
Can you distinguish the difference between life saving medicine and a celebrity touring with daily jet flights?
There’s a difference in case you can’t tell.
Yes. I’m glad you understand my argument. And can you distinguish the difference between launching Earth-monitoring satellites, communication satellites, exploration satellites, and penis rockets for billionaires?
The difference is one is run and regulated by the local government and the other is a private company whose only goal is make number go up at all costs.
Rocket launches should government/public and not owned by another company that will enshittify and fleece the public once they have established themselves as the one monopoly and have driven out all competition.
Why the fuck do you want to give “earth monitoring satellites” and the communication system of an entire country to a fucking private corporation….
Aren’t you a peach.
Well, here’s a straw man for you. Go nuts.
