They dropped a mock-up of their capsule into Lake Ontario a year or so ago and have also tested their engines. They also hired a group of test pilots. They have not launched a single rocket, not even unmanned.
If Moon Man thinks they can surpass NASA, Russian, and China in three years he's delusional. They haven't even said going to the Moon is their goal.

This is the real deal, friend. It's a long way from the drawing board to the Moon.

Wow! An unannotated, unattributed computer generated diagram! Well I'm convinced...

I like the point at the front for landing, and the cladding of Cavorite tiles.

This is the real deal, friend. Do you know, that looks exactly like the GI Joe plane a friend of mine has?

Who 'you calling 'we', Paleface? Canada is building our own spaceport in Nova Scotia and our space craft is much nicer than NASA's current stuff. We will be flying in 2010 and we will beat America to the moon. It's a shorter flight to the moon from Canada than it is from Floriduh. Launching to the ISS would be more efficient from up in Canada...but Canada closer to the Moon...cute. Incidently, Canada does have a beauty of a sounding rocket in the Black Brant series...and they did build the arms that are doing wonderfully up there as we speak.

Yes, that's a real picture, all right.
Don't you ever get tired of spouting ridiculous claims on subjects you don't understand at all?
Canada isn't even planning a trip to the Moon. Not even with unmanned spacecraft.
Canada has a relatively small but highly competent aerospace industry, which you might want to learn about sometime.

...he's delusional.
But entertaining because you never know what delusion will pop up next.

This is the real deal, friend. That's a rocket, not a jet.

I'm beginning to see a pattern among conspiracy theorists with this whole "making ludricrious claims about something they know nothing about" stuff.

That's a rocket, not a jet. It kind of reminds me of the Dyna-Soar. I guess I could post a picture like this one and say, "that;s the real deal!" but of course, Dyna-Soar was from the 1960's. I hope that doesn't hurt MoonMan's ego. www.astronautix.com/craft/dynasoar.htm

Obvious fake. Look at the non-parallel shadows.
