Space Probe Plaque
by

In 1971, NSSA (the Nova Scotia Space Agency) launched the Champlain 2 probe, the first spacecraft to enter interplanetary space. In case it was ever intercepted by intelligent aliens, Champlain 2 carried a plaque depicting a trio of Nova Scotians and offering precise directions to Halifax.
A year later, the idea was stolen by Carl Sagan for use on NASA's better-known Pioneer 10 and 11 probes.

We're back!
Now that Shannon Park likely won't be a stadium, it's time to think of other uses for the space. Maybe a launch pad?
To complete the tribute to this iconic original photo, I thought I'd add another piece of speculation: an RCAF CF-35.

Trivia Night

Momaw Nadon the "Hammerhead" is a regular at Freeman's Trivia Night.
Last night he won a cool hat for knowing who did the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
(He even knows that a parsec is a unit of distance, not of time - but he's polite about it.)
