Where's Spaceman Dan?

News this week of a proposed rocket launching facility at the Cape — Breton, that is — should have had Chairman Dan in a tizzy.

After all, if one rocket, passing overhead many miles to the east of anything on land, could cause such an existential crisis, what will multiple rockets, many of which would necessarily pass directly over Newfoundland or Labrador, and at lower altitudes than those launched from Florida, do to the Chairman's blood pressure and finely-tuned sense of outrage?

The lack of a, well, ballistic response from Chairman this time can only mean one of two things.

Either he's getting soft in his government's — sorry, Administration's — middle age, no longer bringing us the regularly-scheduled spontaneous Fighging Newfoundlander outrage that worked so well for his first two years.

Or he was off his rocker last year during the Titan incident, and knows it.
