TIL Canada is building a space port in Nova Scotia
Construction began in 2022. It plans to launch satellites.
Breaking reliance on American launch sites will be a big deal.
the French have a really good one that the US has used in the past in french Guiana, and its better bc of how close to the equator it is, so the rotation of the planet helps launch the rockets more.
The satellites will be made by local firm BubblesTech from recycled shopping carts. A source near to the project commented "I am the liquor, Randy!"
It's not rocket appliances!
similarily there's an already existing spaceport in northern sweden, they've yet to actually launch something into space but it's not that far off! no one really seems to talk about it but like, holy shit little sweden can into space!
