An interesting development Grey Havoc, I wonder how long it will be before the UK Space agency sets up a joint partnership with the U.S. and Australia and do the same that we have done in defence.

Having known Cath Roberts for many years, I can say this is a great start. It's great to have a woman and an engineer leading the way here.
