The simple answer is that these projects need British money and expertise so they will form no part of Brexit :D ;)

Yep, and I have found this interesting pie chart on the ESA funding:

Looks like the French contribute the most! ::) ::) ::) ;D ;)

It looks as though we are the 4th largest contributor after France, Germany and Italy.

I'm not sure how 'Europe' can stop us using it. Hmm. :-\

I think 3 soviet leaders all died within a few weeks of each other if memory serves.

Brezhnev ( who held the reins for decades)  followed by Andropov and Chernenko had lasted about a week. ::)

This should be quite simple.  ::) 

If the EU don't give us full access to Galileo we deduct the billion we have invested from the £39 billion divorce bill and deny them use of places like the Falklands, Ascension, Diego Garcia and Pitcairn for the necessary base stations.  :)
