      Hi, Gene Cash,

      You haven't been paying close enough attention, for here is something irregular and unconventional beta master pilot test flying and buzzing systems all over, and everywhere that is anywhere .......

      Is truly investigative journalism dead and as a donkey in a once Almighty Blighty? Or is just resting, gathering up heads of steam for a frantic push and exposé of novel news with fresh magical views?

    Good

    I am all for that, but before anybody claims the French are kissing up to the Brits I would point out that both the French and the Germans are ahead in that field, not that unsurprisingly.

    I think the important thing is that they're working together on Earth science and observation which is something that the Trump administration is neglecting.

    Now just imagine ...

    If all the other trading bodies, scientific institutes, educational establishments etc , down to the individual consumers were just left alone to do the same thing with like minded souls.

    Not that difficult is it Juncker/Tusk?

    Well?

      Yes no problem, just take part in financing it as before and everything is forgiven.

    The Brize Norton agreement,..committing the UK and France..jointly work on defence projects in 2014.

    Since when is any of this a "defense" project?

    And I'm scratching my head to recall which other ones have actually happened so far?

    Or are these the very highly completely ultra top secret defense projects?

    Or does that include building a new refugee camp in Calais, since that's technically the UK border now?

    Or would that be demolishing the Channel Tunnel as part of May's policy of "Brexit means Brexit*"

    *Actually what that means is a tautology, which is basically meaning-less.

    Brexit subtext?

    Would such cooperation happened under ESA without Brexit? Is this about UK institutions trying to replace vital partnerships now that they are leaving, or just business as usual?

      Re: Brexit subtext?

      The ESA is separate from the EU, so the UK can stay a member, with hopefully few repercussions.
