Might be a blessing in disguise according to some that are in the project. The clocks have issues.....
UK has all the R&D knowledge and experience and the skills. Changing suppliers is going to add a new dimension for things that can go wrong.
The new cheap launch capability offered outside Europe will bring costs down along with new tech.
They reckoned it is quite likely that UK could have a functioning better system before the original project gets anywhere near full functionality (if it ever gets to the target due to the hydrogen mazzer clocks dropping like leaves.)
And funding is in doubt until everything is sorted out. And there is zero chance if it being complete with the current projected funding.
Its likely to turn into a very expensive tool for collecting road tax in central Europe.
