What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Following his successful Artemis II flight around the moon, Jeremy Hansen stated that Canada is well-positioned to become a hub for future rocket launches due to growing demand. Hansen noted that the country's proximity to the North Pole makes it an energy-efficient location for launches. Separately, the federal government had signed a 10-year, $200-million agreement to lease a dedicated launch pad in Nova Scotia for commercial, scientific, and defense-related cargo.
