OsamaBinObama Yes, a lot of country’s and people do want peace, it’s just we can’t have it right now because of Russia, China, North Korea etc. We wouldn’t have a military if there was no threat to the UK, but, unfortunately, there are a lot of threats to the UK right now...
OsamaBinObama oof get you, We need an army to ensure peace is keep, It’s the same with police if we don’t have them nothing will stop someone from going into your home and talking everything from you, but if we do have a police force there’s suddenly a force that is there to protect you and your property from people that what to do harm to you. This hole idea of a mass military industrial complex doesn’t apply to Britain hell we don’t even buy new equipment much anymore so there’s little profit to be made from the British armed forces.
Skylon has always been a rather dated concept, and will probably never fly. also, it isn't a British government project, its a private project, so not the government's responsibility.
Whiskey2shots I disagree. I’d say the two “new” aircraft carriers we have are dated platforms. If Skylon was flying now it would be the only one of its kind. If the US government can fund NASA then the UK could do the same. Britain did until the early 50s when they cancelled our space program for good. Just when it was on the brink of putting a man in Space. 10 years before the Russians. I do agree that Skylon might never fly though.
@@BRENDANGOSS1974 to be clear are you saying that skylon isn't dated? The British space program wasn't really on the verge of putting a man in space, there was a design, yes but it was very unlikely it could work, and at the time there were more important things, like getting black Arrow to fly.

If Britain did this the leader of this organization would have the title of 'space lord' and if that isn't enough of an incentive to do it I don't know what is
We're human, we militarise every frontier, space will be no different. Even in the utopian world of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, there's a large emphasis on militaristic aspects. Humans are an aggressive race, always have been, always will.
Britain is currently the only country in the world with the technology to make the engines for a space plane check out reaction engines it's on its way and soon we will be the world leaders at shuttling cargo from ground to low earth orbit at a fraction of the cost and a ground to low earth orbit turn around of days rather than months

UK is obliged to praise its satellite industry, and it is indeed important and successful. But without launch capability, which it had in the 1950s and then gave away on a whim (still a principle of UK Government) the nation is not in space. This could easily be remedied by the UK electing to be more than a customer in the European Space Agency. Ironically.
You guys forget that as the U.S. goes so goes the U.K.! If we said tomorrow that we were developing a "Moon Force" you best believe that the next day there'd be an announcement: The British MOD, in conjunction with our Big Brothers (the U.S. Military), has decided to launch a "Moon Force" to help support the U.S. Moon Force effort..." ijs :)
By the sounds of it launch more military satellites as they ultimate high ground and force multiplier as they dont need to be registered with the UN we need graphene in space considering that as one of our current advances, we need to be aim to make the leaps and bounds that will put us ahead of others, acting objectively. For the money we spend we are quite capable as a nation being in the very middle of the world geographically Wales and Scotland can serve as suitable spaceport locations.
Everyone will bumble along with companies pocketing money for weird and wonderful techs... Until someone does something naughty in space, then suddenly everyone will panic and real innovation happens

Now we would be doing pretty well with this knowing how good we are at designing things but unfortunately there’s everything with brexit and stupid defence cuts

So now space is to become a polluted, crowded and radiated cesspit. We just trash any place we go. One day we may work together and spend money on exploring space and bettering humanity rather than finding new, quicker and horrible ways to kill each other.
Dude grow up...we couldn't pollute space if every human on the planet threw a thousand satellites up there! Those that didn't fall back and burn up would ultimately either drift until it rusts and disintegrates or drift off into the vastness of just our GALAXY...please stop it.
@@HeroFanTributes I wouldn't take that bet by a long shot...the US Military has people just as smart (if not smarter) than him working on this...trust me (ever heard of DARPA)?

I doubt very very seriously that we're going to tell a museum guy exactly what is going to happen (but one never knows right)....
We should invite Elon Musk and technology figureheads from around the world and support them. Fund them. Let them pioneer the British technology, not other countries. Fund SpaceX under a BRITISH name and we can advance our technology. The UK Will yet again be the center of the world if we did, and perhaps the galaxy... literally. If we funded and supported him and let him support us, we could pioneer AND increase our military capability. Elon, I would sign to get you British citizenship!
Hahahahaah yeah Elon would jump at the chance to relocate in Britain so he can be attacked by environmentalists, heavy tax regime, regulations that will try & control every aspect of his company that will make it to costly and unworkable! Why do you think no private space program yet in Britain? Because you have Socialistic mindset in Britain that’s anti private sector and pro government which is an anathema to innovation

Why do we weaponise everything we touch?
The most accurate question is: why don't we?
A. Ahmou because we cause our selves issues by doing it. We cause arguments and wars.
No idea but it's only a small percentage of people that seem to think this way the scary part is is that there normally the ones in power
Because the world isn't just full of butterfly's, rainbows and puppy farts mate.
What we've weaponise a fether, lights, TVs. I would say we weaponise everything.
