Cape Breton joins space race
N.S. signs private launch facility deal. Space station flights planned by 2009.

The Toronto Star has learned that Nova Scotia has signed a "team agreement" to provide 300 acres of land - and perhaps even some funding - for a massive orbital launch facility that will involve industry giants and could eventually be on scale with huge NASA operations.

"We're basically building a private manned space program for Canada," says Chicago's Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria, chairman of the PlanetSpace firm that lit the fuse for this deal.
