Where can we get one of those rockets? I am just curious. They would make great 4th of July fireworks.

We could also start a joint East End Toronto-Polish space program. Launch, but no re-entry, too expensive. You get a parachute, 15 minutes oxygen, an ice pack and some aluminum foil coated with lithium grease and whipped cream. (Bright side out) Plus a 15 dollar a month pension for your widow and your picture on a Cameroon postage stamp. If you land successfully and your polaroids develop, we will call the appropriate coast guard to come and get you. Oh! I almost forgot. You need a CSA approved lifejacket and a candy bar too.

RE: Russians expect record growth in gold production

Thanks for the reminder, I was going to mention that ;)

After bottoming at 105mt in 1998, the Russians have really got their
act together doing 152mt in 2001 with projections of over 172mt for 2002.
There are quite a few large projects which means even higher future production.

Indonesia, Peru, and Russia have (or soon will) sneak past Canada,
pushing them from 5th to 8th largest gold producer in the world.
