OTTAWA -- Federal officials got no warning that a Russian rocket would soar through Canadian airspace last December before splashing down, newly released documents show.

    Wonderful... now among all the problems I have to worry about each day in my life, I now have to worry about having space toilets crater into my skull from out of nowhere. :roll:

    I vote to pack numerous old rockets with the trash built up from Toronto and Windsor (maybe stuff some of the CUPE union leaders) and have their debris spill across Russia. Anybody with me?

    Heck... launch all our compost and recycling their way.... that should free up some resources on our end of things.

    Or a bunch of bio-hazzard material from hospitals if we want to get really pissy about things.... nothing says 'I love you as a neighbor' then a shower of used needles flying at you from the heavens.

    Ya know, it's funny but, Canada had the means to topple the Soviet Union many many years ago. It seems that some Canadian beavers have made it over there and have caused some environmental issues. You see, our beavers build dams, but their European cousins, don't. We could'a sent a whole shitload of em there and ended the cold war years earlier LOL :rock:

    This is just a case of the media blowing things out of proportion. It's very difficult to trace where debris will re-enter the atmoshpere, even harder to tell for sure where it will touch down, I'm sure there are cases of US rocket debris falling "without warning" but no media backlash or grossly exagerated finger pointing.

    We have as much chance of being hit by anything out of space as any other region in the world. It happens, it wasn't a bomb or nuclear rocket, it shouldn't be an issue and probably wouldn't have been if it wasn't for the Artic dispute going on right now.
    (by the by this isn't me defending Russia, I hate Russians, some of the most arrogant, stuck up self serving people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting)
