dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 USA+UK=BFF...??? I can't believe their hasn't been a brit astronaut on the ISS till now...WTF??? Didn't the European space agency have a hand in it's development? Did the ever so polite British astronauts "no no no...after You!" till now? It was our tight fisted arseholes in government that refused to get behind the project until now, every bit of space work this country has done up until now has been privately funded. Then when it happened the government slapped themselves on their collective backs over a job well done, when in fact they'd done nothing towards it. Only now have they decided to put the money up to pay into the system. .........then wondered why this country is so far behind. Link to post Share on other sites
