I know that BBC viewers aren't too keen on the corporation's news reports after yesterday's dark matter story, but this interesting item appeared this evening...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6246513.stm I can't find any related press releases on the PPARC and BNSC sites. Has anyone else more information? |

From a global/sociological perspective, this proposal is very interesting. The article explicitly mentioned the fact that several other countries are contemplating lunar UMSF, so I personally think that this mission has a better than average chance of happening.
It really does look like there's a quiet new Moon race building up steam, and that's a good thing! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
