And a few Hockey pucks... "The world knows Canadians can do extraordinary things,'' says Sheerin.
Yes with a lot of support from my Tax dollars... the only thing they will launch with be public enquiry into a corruption scandal.. The cost of said enquiry, will be another 80 million into some peoples back pockets..

Next Joke please..

This is exactly the kind of vehicle we need! Unfortunately, without government support, the odds of having enough resources to follow through are very low.

Good to see some new developments taking shape. It seems like Canadians have been asleep for a LONG time. I hope their efforts aren't strangled by taxes and red tape, like so many imaginative projects are.

What The Frak happened to these guys? I was really pumped to see them succeed. And what ever happened to the big full-size mockup of their Silver Dart spaceplane? I really likeed that one. $:-\$

Something's not right. The defunct Canadian Arrow was based on the German V2 rocket. There's no way that the Silver Dart will get anywhere near ISS orbit, even with a cluster of A4 (V2) rocket motors.
