b'Episode 231: Gerald Vincent Bull was a smart cookie from North Bay, Ontario. He graduated from the University of Toronto at 20, got a master\\u2019s degree at age 21, and at 22 earned a Ph.D. in aeronautical engineering from the University of Toronto\\u2019s newly created Institute of Aerodynamics.\\nMagazines touted him the \\u2018boy rocket scientist\\u2019. Nations sought him for his innovative ideas regarding long range artillery, ballistics and other military related endeavours. He was charged several times with breaching arms embargoes, even spending time in prison, a sore spot for the proud scientist. Eventually he became involved in Iraq\\u2019s \\u2018Project Babylon\\u2019 in which he was asked personally by then Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to build a Supergun which would launch weapons into space, giving Hussein the capability of bombing targets 1000\\u2019s of kilometres away. This obviously worried Iraq\\u2019s neighbours in the Middle East.\\nBefore the project was completed Gerald Bull was assassinated, shot five times outside his apartment building in Brussels, Belgium. A lot of nations hated Gerald Bull and some, no doubt, wanted him dead, but it remains a mystery who was behind his killing. It isn\\u2019t clear who actually pulled the trigger in the murder of Gerald Bull, most likely it was someone either within, or acting on behalf of, one of those governments who\\u2019d felt threatened by Bull\\u2019s activities and alliances.\\nSources:\\nGerald Bull - Wikipedia\\nGerald Bull | The Canadian Encyclopedia\\nThe tragic tale of Saddam Hussein\\u2019s \\u2018supergun\\u2019 - BBC Future\\nSuperguns 1854\\u20131991 by Steven J.
