Thanks to Richard for the blog's title today!
You've got to check out this Planet Space website:

Here is the link to an article from last August about the company's plans for Cape Breton:

What do you think about this? Is this some "cockamamie scheme" as Rick sees it, or do you think this is going to be a major, long-term investment for Cape Breton? I'm kind of agreeing with Rick, but I guess I'll have to see it to believe it! I laughed so hard about the giant cucumbers today! Hilarious. Who would you put on the space shuttle first? Rick? The Mayor? Fougere? The Premier? Would you ride on the "Silver Dart" yourself when this company has, according to Rick, yet to even put a rocket up in the air?
Lots of things to shake your head at today. Weren't you sickened to hear about the dad who gave his son pot at the age of 8 and taught him how to steal? Unbelievable and sad, but it sounds like the kid really wants to put his life back together! I hope he's serious...and wasn't just sweet talking the judge in order to be free.
I forget who mentioned the story about FEMA and its pretend news conference held last week in relation to the California wildfires. They used some of their own employees to pose as journalists and lob softball questions at officials in terms of how they handled the disaster! Way to go, guys, way to go.
Someone from the Ecology Action Centre called today telling us about a petition to stop the Chebucto road widening. You can access it at: http://keepitlivable.org. They have almost 15-hundred signatures so far.
Gloria and Brad Johns were in during hour number 2 and it was a good hour. There were a couple of funny exchanges, because Rick is so funny and Gloria is so blunt.
Rick: Gloria, is Brad Johns out to lunch on this? (talking about the cat by-law)
Gloria: Yeah, he is. Sorry, Brad.
It is very cold in our studio, so Brad ran out to grab a coat. He grabbed this plaid padded coat that made Rick retort: "I'm sorry, I thought we were interviewing Brad Johns, not Elmer Fudd!" If you saw the coat, this statement would be very funny to you.
So, the N.S. Supreme Court says the fired school board members will not be getting their jobs back. I wonder what's going to happen if the same crew runs next year and are all re-elected and have the same amount of bickering? Will Casey have to disband them again? Honestly, even since the board was disbanded, I haven't heard a lot of people lamenting the loss. It seems like Howard Windsor is going a good job, at least that's what I'm deducing from the lack of calls on the topic!
Here's the court decision if you want to give it a read:

Freakin' cold today, but it's going to warm up later this week, according to Cindy Day!
Have a great Monday,
Amber

Your welcome Amber.
I think the whole ideal of Planet Space setting up on Boularderie Island is very possible. Anything is possible.
Especially when the Provincial Government under Rodney Mac has its hands in it now...and lets not forget the Liberals either....Seems to me that Mark Eyking may have his familie's hands in this as well...????being careful while being optimistic...
Bruce Devine mentioned that they could get the steel to make it from Sydney Steel...sorry Bruce it as well is long gone.Thank God.
The governments of the day loves using Cape Breton as a lab experiment...lets try it down there first....if it works we will move it to the mainland. or Mexico or India.
Yeah Rick I have said it many times before' Do we have S stamped on our foreheads?"
and that S is not for SPACEcadets available. Shake our heads.... I wonder if Rodney came up with that ideal when he was Min. of Tourism .
By the way, tourism dropped 26% while he was in office.
So at all the look-offs along the majestic Cabot Trail, tourist can stop and pay a fee to look out of Rodney's friend's $2 for 2 mins. binnoculars and view Boularderie Island, Pt Aconi as the Silver Dart blasts off to "outer space".
Keep in mind of course the the original Silver Dart really didn't fly very high or for very long compared to going out into space and back.
Another "visible minority" person,from Totonto, has an ideal how to get money and free land out of the government of Nova Scotia. Lets build a Spaceship launch pad....Rodney says "need ideal". We can do that, but first we have to let my party's good buddy John Chisholm, extract all the high ash and high sulphur coal and make millions off it selling it through Sassy Sasha , Emera(NSP), we can create more cancer which will put a demand on our Health care guru Chris, the more citizens who stay in Cape Breton we can kill off with cancers and then allow more immigrants in to work for less , to pay into CPP so that there will be small pensions there for the ones who might live long enough in Canada to even collect from CPP...Thus cutting down on health care requirments for babyboomers...
Opps!!!! sorry....guess I could have kept going with that nightmare.
I'll be listening in tomorrow.
In the meantime this is General R, from the Space Station Cape Breton, relocated in another time zone, bidding you good night and a safe journey to THE ROCK'ANDDDDDDDDD BEYONDDDDDDDDDDDDD
