Hello, my reading friend. How are you? […] Good, good. Now that the name of French space exploration pioneer Louis Damblanc is no longer unknown to you, the time has come to see why the name of that engineer is worth knowing. In March 1932, Damblanc carried out a series of solid propellant rocket tests in Saint-Cyr-l’École, France, a suburb of Paris, in collaboration with the Institut aérotechnique, a research establishment located in that town. He wished to obtain precise data on the

Do you like good chow, my reading friend? If your answer was a resounding yes, let me advise you that the subject of this article may not activate your digestive juices. Said subject found its origin in an article published 60 years ago in the important daily newspaper La Presse of Montréal, Québec. Journalist Roland Prévost described therein the remarkable project that two young Quebecers, two brothers in fact, Roger Mallette, 14 years old, and André Mallette, 11 years old, carried out for the

Welcome you to our virtual meeting place, my reading friend. Right off the bat, yours truly must admit that I am not a fan of the type of product at the heart of the peroration about which I am going to type to you this week. While it is true that I consumed soft drinks in my distant youth, at a time when dinosaurs were still pounding the ground of our big blue marble, it is equally true that I have not absorbed that type of junk food for a great many years. However, I must admit to having a

Again, greetings and salutations, my reading friend. You will of course remember how the first part of this article ended. Something about the beginning of a new phase in the aeronautical history of Hoffar Motor Boat Company of Vancouver, British Columbia. Well, the hyper long digression also known as Part 2 of this article is finally behind us, which means that we finally have the means, motive and opportunity to jump into the fray. Are you ready? Wunderbar! Our story began with the Minister of

Hello there, my reading friend. Given the less than balmy weather in a certain northern corner of the northern hemisphere of planet Earth, yours truly thought that a topic like the one on offer today, in this edition of our heart warming blog / bulletin / thingee, would be most appropriate indeed. Let us begin with a quote, which consists of the brief text which accompanied the photograph above.

Wunderbar! Are you familiar with synthetic meat / meat substitute / meat analogue / meat alternative / imitation meat by any chance? Yes, yes, synthetic meat. The world needs such a product in a bad way. Do you not know that red meat is a significant contributor to climate change? Indeed, it is a major factor
