Yes, it certainly was impressive! The most awesome sight in the Toronto sky since the CN Tower was topped off by skyhook several years back, in fact. But even as my breath was taken away the thought struck me "I wonder if this is the modern day equivalent of showing the flag with a battleship?". Is it purely co-incidental that the formal request to test the CRUISE in Canada came less than a week after the 'courtesy' visit of the Enterprise? Oh well, it will certainly be something to remember in my old age. Thank-you NASA! Depressingly cynical, Richard Outerbridge, utcsrgv!outer
