-Caveat Lector-
Artillery dominated military
ballistics from the
earliest use of gunpowder in
guns and rockets. It
was natural that Jules Verne
could only
realistically consider a
cannon for a moon launch
in his prescient 1865 novel,
>From the Earth to the
Moon. Until the first V-2
test flights, it was guns
that set the altitude and
speed records for
artificial objects - notably
the Paris Gun of World
War I. Even after the rocket
established its
primacy as a method of
accessing space, Gerald
Bull of the Canadian Armament
and Research
Development Establishment
began a life-long
struggle to use guns for
cheap access to space.

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
