Such a shame.  I hope they are not still overselling the amount of 
revenue it can or will generate from sales of premium services as a 
means to lie their way to funding for birds/launches.

Next, I thought Martin was no longer chairman of SSTL but very happy to 
see it go to Surrey if it has to go anywhere at all.
