Satellite technology, the nanny state and me

Apparently we Brits are taking part in a new space project. If it's as successful as our last two attempts it should be a laugh (the Beagle broke when it hit Mars and the last rocket we tried managed around 300ft before exploding). However this one will support things like road pricing schemes and a... Sign in to see full entry.
