Here's hoping that the UK, home of the legendary British Interplanetary Society (BIS), which before WW2 came up with a lunar 'manned' landing concept, will someday be flying its own fully reusable systems to orbit - and be active there and beyond. (Ok, so I'm a Romantic.) https://t.co/XJBzHANgiJ
Skyrora, a Scottish rocket manufacturer, has become the first UK-based company to secure a space launch license, marking a milestone for the UK's space sector. Despite obtaining the license, Skyrora's inaugural flight is expected to be delayed until 2026. The company is actively seeking overseas launch sites due to a shortage of suitable launch facilities within the UK. This development brings the UK closer to establishing its own orbital launch capabilities, reflecting the country's historical legacy in space exploration, including early lunar landing concepts developed by the British Interplanetary Society before World War II.
