And he also taken little patience for the ponderous administration above him, where he saw at best as wasteful and incompetent. And his this belief accelerated from the slow rate at which research applications were handled by the bureaucracy and the incompetent manner in which they were finally implemented.

Bull was both vocal and tactless in his criticism of his immediate superiors and the other government departments that he exchanged with. He won few friends by calling many administrators 'cocktail scientists', along with another, less polite, names. And the hostility he generated would haunt Bull for years to come. And the Bull's credit his opinion and he shared by many others peoples including Murphy who was 'amazed' at the ' ineffectiveness ' he found at CARDE at that time.

In the early 1960's both the professional and the scientific elements for a project such as HARP were in place. In all that is needed was a element to get these things started.

In the early 1961, after a period at CARDE, Gerald Bull left his position in disturbance. He did not take long time for word to spread that Bull was now a freelance consultant.  Many companies’ offers to employ on his company, particularly from the USA, came his way. But the Bull, was now with his wife and children, and he did not want to leave Canada. And Over the past period he had developed strong family relation and community stalemates and he was unenthusiastic or unwilling to leave the country. He was also satisfied that Canada have the capability of becoming a great space faring nation and that his super huge gun concept would be the some means.

And early in the year 1960 Bull has move toward Donald Mordell, and become the Dean of Engineering at McGill University.  And here soon he became a notable engineer in his own right, and here Mordell shared Bull's dream of this satellite gun. And he wanted to join this university with Bull to make his dream a reality.  June 5, 1961, when his age of 34, Gerald Bull became the most young professor and he appointed by McGill University. And this university provided Bull to employment here and with gun research opportunities while the details of this super huge gun project were worked out. So The HARP journey had bring into being.

In the starting of summer of 1961 Bull and Mordell represented up the plans for the HARP project and Mordell began to search for funding. The HARP plan was immediately turned down by Bull's challengers at the Canadian Defense Research Board. And In August Mordell move towards the Canadian Department of Defense Production (CDDP) for funding of his project.

And he encouraged the turn -offs from the HARP project are more then pay for their investment, and  the Canadian Department of Defense Production CDDP made a verbalized promise for a grant of $500,000 with the understanding that it would take at least six months to work through the red tape. Ready to begin at once, Mordell and Bull move towards McGill University's board of governors for a $200,000 advance to develop a gun range and set up initial operations. Based on the Canadian Department of Defense Production CDDP's guarantees, and the pair's spreadable enthusiasm, McGill agreed to the loan. And the understanding was is they would be paid back in a few months when the government funding came in.
