I suppose it's proof that you Limeys live in a vacuum. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

It's good that the article described the satellite as British
built. The Dutch and the Russians did the hard parts. The Brits
just put it together like I did model cars as a kid.
What did they do with the left over parts?



I wonder if it has Chinese semiconductors in the electronics and computers? I've always been suspicious of Chinese produced computer equipment because there is probably a backdoor in any CPU or logic chip produced in China. I suppose I'm paranoid because the U.S. government spook agencies have tried or succeeded in getting American tech companies to allow them to spy on anyone using their products be it software or hardware. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
