Whatever it is, it probably isn't half as grand as what I imagine for us.

I wonder if we'll finally reveal our Death Star to the world!







Would you believe two Boy Scouts in a canoe with a slingshot?

Not much to see here. No flagship missions, just more niche roles, doing little mickey mouse jobs for the big players.

Nope, not impressed.

Dang. Not re-opening the Churchill Spaceport for our own mission to Mars. The plan to remain undistinguished and not stand out from the crowd remains intact.

[Gunnair]

Yep. Canada remains the Waldo in the space equivalent of a Where's Waldo picture.

*Shrugs* Although it would have been nice hearing that we went into space first, before the Americans or the Soviets, or that we already colonized Mars in secret, I'm not incredibly surprised we aren't playing a bigger role in space exploration and development.

I'm not incredibly surprised either... I wouldn't be surprised if the government put out a press release stating that our national goal in all endeavours is to achieve a state of mediocrity.

It'd be nice for them to surprise me though, just once.

Sub-Standard is our standard.
