"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."

Yay another fucking private company that will lobby politicians and eventually push its owner to a Musk level position and can abuse government grants and tax breaks instead of investing in Canadian public services.

Your reasoning is Elon bad, Elon do rockets, so rockets be bad.

It's kindergarten level.

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
