    I am going to write to the Minister of Industry asking this programme be restored. Maybe if there is a public outcry...and there should be! Canada was the 3rd country in space, has always been a leader in remote sensing technology and space robotics, this is our edge, let's not throw it away - again. This is our generation's Avro Arrow moment. Write to [email protected], cc Carney and your MP.

  13. Who Thought It Was a Good Idea to Let Me Drive a Lunar Rover?

    They actually let me drive Australia’s Lunar Rover… I still don’t know why.

    This all happened at AusSpace 2025 — Australia’s biggest space tech event — where I somehow found myself behind the controls of ROO-VER, the lunar rover being built to drive on the Moon.

    Not only did I get to drive the thing, but I also sat down with one of the engineers building it... and then, somehow, ended up interviewing former Prime Minister Scott Morrison (?!). That’s not a sentence I ever thought I’d write.

    This trip was insane, full of space tech, mad energy, a few surprises — and, of course, one very confused engineer trying to explain to me how to drive a robot made for the Moon.

    So… did I crash it? Did Scott Morrison talk about space chickens? Did I get kicked out of AusSpace?

    There’s only one way to find out 👇

  25. Бюджет VIPER составлял 450 миллионов долларов.

    Для сравнения, недавно Пентагон объявил о продолжении разработки новых баллистических ракет для доставки ядерных боеголовок с бюджетом проекта в 140 миллиардов долларов, не смотря на увеличение стоимости более чем на 40% (изначальный бюджет был 96 миллиардов, но со временем он увеличился на каких-то 44 миллиарда)
