Got to love the picture; two Americans both dressed the same, five brits 4 different standards of dress. Not very 'Uniform' ( Also, why is it the older I get, the more I notice these things, I can't remember giving two hoots about it when I was younger!!!).

"Creation of a new Space Command and setting up of a Cabinet-level national space council are among the initiatives being pursued by the British.
On the capabilities front, new Skynet 6 communications satellites, planned new ballistic missile defense radars, the possible creation of a UK Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), surveillance and reconnaissance assets, and space-launch systems are on the agenda."
Where is the cash going to come form?

"Mavis, pop down stairs and tell Boris we have incoming...ohh and Mavis be a good dear and pop the kettle on while you're there, I have a feeling we are going to have a power cut."
The defense space portfolio is expected to be worth at least £7 billion, or roughly $9 billion, over the next 10 years as related capabilities move closer to the top of Britain’s military agenda.
Space operations will continue to be conducted by the Royal Air Force.

Should have appointed Kate Bush...
Rumor has it the Nigerian Defense Space Administration is filing a complaint with the UK Foreign Minister re "poaching" of NDSA Staff by the UK Space Command.
Any truth to that?

Definitely the only quality, personnel minded 2 or 3 Star we have at the moment.
He was a great Sqn boss too. When a Sqn is happy they’ll do anything.
