@JohnRiche One way flight are always way more expensive than round trip for Europe for cash, but not for aeroplan points (if you don’t have enough points you can buy them, right now they have bonus points so cost is lower)

Any tips on getting a cheap one way flight from Western Europe to YYT. Flights from Glasgow wildly expensive.

Nfld Power is asking people to prepare for rolling outages. Everyone will take a turn getting power, some areas will have power turned out. Each outage would be “as short as possible”. Can’t provide advance power but aiming for <1 hour for outages

They have divers in the water, using compressed air to break the ice loose. “It will be a multi day effort”. Holyrood is online but only 1 of 3 generators online. Crews working to get other 2 generators working

NL Hydro has a power warning for Newfoundland, asking people to conserve power to avoid rolling outages. They’re providing an update on problems with power generation in the province during some of the coldest temps of the winter.

Some members of our launch operations team had an amazing time meeting the brilliant people at @navcanada in Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. We have worked closely with NAV Canada to ensure cooperation and safety of air traffic above our spaceport, the Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX). It was great to meet their team and discuss our ongoing aeronautical studies, future plans for orbital launches, and ideas to build Canada’s future sovereign space launch capabilities. Thank you for the incredibly valuable work you do, NAV Canada! Clear skies! ✈️🚀🇨🇦

Nordspace just tried another launch from St Lawrence and unfortunately had flames on the launch pad. Appears to be extra propellant that burned off, no larger fire and they’re examining the rocket and the pad now

Teams a gearing up to try and launch this afternoon. Likely towards the end of their launch window (so 5-7). They have a few components they need to tweak so they’ve lowered the rocket into horizontal position

The fire on the launch pad at Nordspace rocket launch was because of extra propellant (they use oxygen and kerosene) the ratio wasn’t right. It just burned itself off and the company says the rocket is safe. Currently evaluating whether they can try again during 3-7pm today

I’m in St. Lawrence standing by for what could be the first commercial rocket launch in Canada. Tomorrow is the first good weather day they’ve had for this launch window

September 22, 2025 19:00 NDT: Launch Director (LD) and Range Safety Officer (RSO) have selected Sep. 23, 2025 (Tuesday) for a high probability launch day. Launch crews will maintain the rocket and ground support equipment in a launch-ready state overnight, with the first launch window opening at 06:30 NDT. The actual launch may occur at any time during the two windows spanning 06:30 - 12:00 NDT and 15:00 - 19:00 NDT. All spectators viewing the launch in-person are required to follow NOTAMS and NAVWARNS for air, land and sea, and are encouraged to review the FAQ on the Launch Info page found on our website. The livestream is expected to commence at approximately 06:30 NDT for online viewers, if conditions remain nominal.

So there was a problem with the nitrogen lines that disconnect before launch. They didn’t disconnect. Turns out it was a problem with a generator, not the rocket so it’s an easy fix but they can’t try again until 3pm NL time. They have a 4 hour window to do it

I’m told that the launch window this morning is until noon NL time, so they have just over an hour to complete the launch. If they don’t do it in time they have an afternoon window as well
