*second rocket launch. The UK has already had a successful rocket launch in the 60’s after they shut the program down.
Note: still not going to be a super power, what a silly headline. Britain’s inability to deal with being a successful middle power is the root cause of most of what’s wrong with it.
People who are having “heat or eat” issues don’t need a space program.
>The spaceport, the first in Europe, is based at Newquay Airport.
And anyone wonder why there are no spaceports in Europe?
Why all launch sites are near to the equator?
Just an accident?
This government comes out with some shit, yes you can launch a rocket into orbit from the UK but it is more productive to do it from close to the Equator so you can put decent payloads into orbit hence the European Space Agency launches from South America, not Norway!
Yes highly paid jobs in a fast expanding industry
So much chestbeating it’s silly.
Hang on. Black Arrow. Richard Branson is a fucking nob. My grandfather worked on Black Arrow.

NK says the same every time they launch a rocket.
