Space should have been their focus…but like us–they spent big on aircraft and carriers and neglected space. Let the United States do carrier groups and many Pounds will be freed up for Skylon.

If it’s a two week mission, as the press release suggests, it’s gotta be to a space station, because Dragon’s ECLSS will not last that long. And since there is only one space station it can go to right now . . .

I have often wondered why Britain, the country who, in the words of Jeremy Clarkson, ‘invented everything’, has effectively disappeared from space. For several centuries, British technology, power, and influence, was unrivaled. It seems to me that in the 1950’s, after the privations and destruction of WW II, Britain gave up on being a major world player, and went full Socialist. This was perhaps inevitable, as they had lost their Empire, and six years of being a target will take its toll. Still, for a people as innovative and risk-taking as the British have proven to be, it is sad to see.
