It wants to kick-start a revolution in space by letting EU politicians not bureaucrats decide on priorities for the European Space Agency (Esa). [ ...snip a lot of woolly stuff about manned missions to Mars and the need for politically defined objectives... ] According to the French, the UK is their model partner in this endeavour. choke well that's, uh, interesting... Fairly long and interesting article - a little bit off-topic for UMSF perhaps, but some might be interested. -------------------- -- Viva software libre!
