&lt;P style='clear:both;'&gt;I enjoyed the article about the resurrection of the Canadian Arrow. &amp;nbsp;Columbus, Ohio as a spaceport? &amp;nbsp;Anyone checked out the effects of an empty V-2 sized booster dropping in after launch? &amp;nbsp;Even empty, a hard hat just won't do it! &amp;nbsp;An aborted launch with a nearly full fuel load in downtown Columbus is just a mite worrying! &amp;nbsp;And Columbus and environs get to pay $20 million for the priviledge, too! &amp;nbsp;I thought this was to be private venture - not gov'ment subsidy. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style='clear:both;'&gt;Of course, we have the comforting history of Canadian Arrows of the past. &amp;nbsp;Thanks to politics, they got cancelled and scrapped during testing. &amp;nbsp;Trust me, I would prefer to have that AVRO team together again. &amp;nbsp;They did great work, if you don't hold the AVROCar against them!&lt;/P&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
