Sir Martin interviewed for BBC ten o clock news
Sir Martin is to be interviewed on the BBC's 10 o'clock news this evening (Tuesday 9/1/07), concerning the potential for a UK lunar mission.
The impetus for this was a 2 day workshop held in Edinburgh by key stakeholders culminating in a PPARC press conference tomorrow.
This interview takes place at a point when a number of people, not all confined to the space community are rethinking what role the country should have in space exploration (read Andrew Weston's informative article in The Space Review).
The engineering sector have concerns that the transfer of space and aerospace technology to other areas on engineering enjoyed at present could cease to exist if the UK Space industry is starved of cash.
