But although the abortive launch quickly brought those lofty ambitions back down to earth, Freeman’s resilience didn’t crash and burn at all. Citing JFK’s famous line that we do space projects “not because they are easy but because they are hard”, the minister was unabashed., setting out the Government’s “global science strategy”.

He was very keen to stress global cooperation, but also that one benefit of Brexit would be to turn the UK into a “regulatory test bed” to make it easier for overseas firms to trial their technologies with less red tape.
