So, I was reading the wikipedia article about the Canadian Space Agency (don't ask why, I woke up two hours ago) and saw that Canada had the third satellite in orbit (and it lasted ten times longer than it was expected to), had the first geostationary satellite communications network.
I was just wondering if we could get more prestige from other victories, or even get a place closer to the equator through some negotiations to launch it ourselves ion a Canada-built rocket? C'mon, we could've called it The Bluenose and had a commemorative dime!
How about a man in space under our own program, launched from a vehicle we made, anywhere?
