The UK is currently reviewing its national space policy. At best the gov't will decide for the first time in british history to fund manned spaceflight, at worst things will remain pretty much as is. <br /><br />My bet is that it'll end up somewhere in the middle, with increased funding for space science (robotic) missions to moon (and maybe piggyback missions to mars/asteriods), which isn't a bad thing, but may not help much towards giving a green light to CSTS in 08. But we can but hope.
