Perhaps Mother MayDay should visit the UK's 'National Space Centre'.....??
It's a museum just off the Leicester ring road
EASA, ESA, Euratom - even Airbus D&S are pan-European organisations in which the UK is a major participant. As for trying to develop a commercial alternative to GPS, Galileo or GLONASS, whichever idiot thought that up needs to look further at the costs! It's taken a long time for EGNOS to get to its current state - and who would bother with some UK-specific BritNav system given the wide range of current GNSS SatNav receivers?
Another daft utterance from an increasingly desperate government...
