Is the Macdonald Dettwiler/Alliant Space Deal Dead?
Do you think that Canada did not get value for the contracts they let to MDA? On Radarsat-2? On Canadarm2? On Dextre? You think MDA's margins are higher than those of Boeing or Lockheed Martin? Even the largest Canadian military-industrial-ae... companies are categorically different than the large U.S. corporations. A better comparison in terms of both line of business and business opportunities are mid-sized companies like AeroAstro, Ball Aerospace, or the former Swales.
Why are we asking about Canadian space policy? Why is it that CSA's budget has stalled? Yet their bureaucratic staff has expanded by 20%? And their space program output has decreased by more than 1/3rd?
There is a dearth of leadership that shows no signs of improving. The same vacuum of vision and leadership set up the conditions from MDA seeking the sale and ironically has stymied it. And the CSA bureacracy will continue to feed itself on its allowance ever-decreasing real dollars while doing little to engage the taxpayers in the very tangible economic and technological benefits inherent in the work.
