Your final recommendation makes enormous sense, John. Thanks for bringing
this to our attention.
Given the economic circumstances of the Canso area, I wouldn't be surprised
if this thing goes through, but they need to make every effort to mitigate
the likely subsequent environmental impacts.
I see another letter coming! J

Subject: [NatureNS] Birds and Canso Spaceport
Hi All,
For those who are interested in the effect of the Canso Spaceport on birds,
I have published an assessment in my conservation notebook which can be
found at http://www.johnfkearney.com/cgi-bin/ebb/blog2/index.php.
I only briefly discuss the environmental effects of the rocket fuel
unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH). However, I believe it is a human
health and safety hazard that has been greatly underplayed in the enthusiasm
for the project. UDMH which powered the early years of the US space program
is no longer produced in that country because it is so dangerous and toxic.
UDMH is now powering the nuclear missiles of North Korea. The fuel is
believed to be coming from production facilities in Russia or China. Here is
an interesting article from the New York times about UDMH:

es.html.
