Title: 'Muscular' UK Space Agency launched
Post by: Simon on March 23, 2010, 23:01

The new UK Space Agency (UKSA) will take over responsibility for government policy and the key budgets for space, according to ministers.

The agency, which comes into being on 1 April, will also represent Britain on space matters in all negotiations with international partners.

Not sure muscular is the right word - but I think its a step in the right direction, shake things up a bit.

Still we could do with more money.. if we had it.

I quite like the logo.
