I don't know where these figures come from













It's not getting any better.



Forgive us for not quite trusting Tajani on this one.

The whole Galileo satellite mission is a huge waste of money and should be cancelled immediately. There are too many things going wrong down here on planet earth, for us to remain remotely interested in what is going on in space, especially in a very large gaseous object called Jupiter. If the kind of astronomical (no pun intended) money needed to deploy and operate this thing is available lets put it to use where its needed.

No doubt the EU is not the most economical project manager. However there is more to it than that. If the European military are ever to be truly independant then they must have Galileo.

Britain is against because we are broke but also acting in the role of US agent in the EU. Washington does not want Europe to have an independant satellite system. In my view in this instance the EU is right. We need to escape from US miltary dominance.

EU Project in cost overrun shocker! To be fair, the tax payer immediately bore the brunt when private industry could see no way to make money out of it, having had that happen, the question was simply do we really want it, and I think the answer is unequivocably yes. We need to be independant from the US (excepting the 51st state) and Galileo will provide that. Value for money, only time will tell, and if the US ever switches of GPS it will be worth every cent.
