Does anyone honestly believe the UK has ANY money to throw at populating space? Give me a break will you.
Once we're out of the EU, there will be even less cash to spare for space. "Space...the financial frontier"..... |
No, actual stage prop fighter from “Wing Commander”, 1999. Modified F6. |
If there is no air in space why have the RAF got the gig. Royal Air and Vacuum Force?

Point of order - there is air, it just gets very thin. In fact the exosphere extends out to about 120,000 miles. No water or land though...... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exos...ndary_of_Earth |
Damn, that means no Army or Navy, then.....
|
Wouldn't want to pull Garrison duty.

Traditionally in SciFi , space exploration has always been modeled on a Naval style operation - I guess because you're looking at units operating a long way from a base for weeks/months/years and (realtively) large crews - think the Star SHIP "enterprise"
No-one has ever said they'd adopt the famous three traditions of the RN tho'.................................... |

The only reason space is controlled by the Navy in all these sci fi films is because The Navy IS the Senior Service...
