UK Space Agency and the British Space Shuttle

Brand New Insight into the UK Space Agency, Britain's answer to NASA.

We hear how the Agency is at the cutting edge of the British Space Industry Management

How the British Government has given 60 Million Pounds to help design and build the engines for the new British Space Shuttle known as Skylon

Based on the SABRE Rocket/Jet engine invented and built by Alan Bond of Reaction Engines, we hear how Skylon will take payloads into Space daily using conventional take off and landing methods.

We hear how the Space Agency is helping British Industry map the stars and land a probe on a moving comet.

We ask how the UK will avoid her usual trick of inventing the technology and then losing it to America or other countries.
