And even some of the words are limp-wristed. What the heck does "a “flexible” stance towards human spaceflight and launch vehicle development" mean? The BNSC can now take meetings on the topic before they say "no"? Bleah... “As usual it’s all words and no action.”

The bottom line is that BNSC gets funded with $400m a year, that's the measure of how serious the UK government is about space. To just match NASA's % of GDP level, BNSC would need to have $3 billion a year. Now that would buy an interesting space program for the UK. As usual it’s all words and no action.
