Big D--
Any chance we could launch Boris and his band of merry men into the outer space?
Almost as outrageous as Piers Morgan calling D Cummings a " rat faced weasel " on breakfast tv . :-)

ORAC--

The NASA preferred polar launch site is Kodiak in Alaska which for much of the year is somewhat...... chilly.
Any stats on just how many commercial launches NASA have conducted from said site ? Like Kwajalein Atoll , maybe more of a military emphasis .

Much as we would all love to see a British space launch programme up and running , I fear there is very little serious interest in the corridors of power at the moment , despite the best efforts of interested (professional ) parties . Alok Sharma teaming up with Mr Bharti does not fill one with confidence .
