   Lest we forget, Canada does have a space program, and even a few
   astronauts. They include Dr. Ken Money, a space sickness pioneer
   who has worked, at times, out of DCIEM, and at least five others.
   To be sure, no launch vehicles - maybe we could strap a bunch of
   Black Brant sounding rockets together and call it Energia2..:-)

   I'm sure the folks at Spar Aerospace, (of arm fame), feel part of 
   the NASA program. Way back in the '70s, Canadian researchers helped 
   analyse Apollo moon rocks, so Canadian participation is nothing new. 
   And when they had the "cattle call" for people wanting to be astronauts 
   up here, there were droves of applicants. Hmmm. Maybe NASA should move
   to Hull Quebec. No tropical storms up here. Just earthquakes. :-)
