Ah yes.

The fully moving tail.

And the rest...

Timberwolf's first budget. Scrap all spending. Put it instead into researching and very quickly developing:

• Fast Breeder nuclear reactor technology
• The first UK Moon base

[TimberWolf]

It sounds as if Britain didn't see the commercial value in space, so helped out the yanks etc do their bit for mankind, as an altruistic act.

The Americans only broke the sound barrier after the UK gov. told the British company who were about to do it to stop and send everything they had to the yanks.

It was Grocer Ted's administration that put the kibosh on the Black Arrow programme.

It had been cancelled before the launch of Prospero, and the only reason it was launched was that it was sitting on the launch pad ready to go.

Hang on a second, who was Education and Science minister when Ted Heath was Prime Minster? Someone called Margate Thatcher I believe

Could it really be that Maggie killed off the UK Space Programme and doomed us to be a nation of has-beens, dunces and Luddites? Surely shome mishstake. Who knows their history, who gives a toss, who's the real political culprit here (out of Labour and Conservative).

It's mind boggling that for all the truly poverty stricken countries out there Gordon Brown sends our money to India, the country with a space programme, nuclear weapons and most of our high tech service industry.

Brown, you are a total cretin.

He's working hard on doing to UK IT what previous Labour administrations (allegedly) did to the UK Space programme.

[DimPrawn]

We already did. Or at least the aid we sent was about equal to the cost of their space programme.

WHS.

Have they done a health and safety audit on space yet?

How about we send the programme to India?

Did you see the UK Space Agency budget? £200 million or something

[TykeMerc]

This is one small step for a gentleman

Classic!!

UK space agency run by New Labour.

15 years later, we'll have 22 new unelected Space Quangos, 500 Space Outreach Workers and 327 new laws forbidding travel into space for environmental and ethical reasons.

It will also be still trying to decide if the first British astronaut should be a muslim lesbian or perhaps a mixed race paraplegic asylum seeker.



Doomed! ******* Doomed!

Are New Labour behind this "Space Agency"?

Well it looks like the Neo Nazi's NPD one to me...
