The Cassini program is an international cooperative effort involving NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Italian space agency, Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI), as well as several separate European academic and industrial contributors. The Cassini partnership represents an undertaking whose scope and cost would not likely be borne by any single nation, but is made possible through shared investment and participation. Through the mission, about 260 scientists from 17 countries hope to gain a better understanding of Saturn, its stunning rings, its magnetosphere, Titan and its other icy moons. Read more

With endless possibilities in Space the question must be asked... where is Britain's space programme?

As pointed out by Arthur Kemp and other British National Party speakers; we are giving away 9 billion sterling each year to countries who have their own space programmes, such as India.

Vote BNP to end obscene amounts of foreign aid charity, and invest heavily in British scientific research and education.
