You all laugh at me now, but when SpaceX and NASA launch manned missions to Mars and other planets from just west of Calgary, you'll look back on this day, and this post, as the catalyst for it and you'll worship the ground I walk on.

Launching from the west of Calgary would mean failed craft would be directly over populated areas. Spacecraft launch to the east, to take advantage of earth's rotation.
