Hi Folks, Pathology, Agreed! But not as loud as our Australian cousins if they knew they had paid for the beginnings of the world’s first spaceport. Possibly more per capita than the Soviets did on human spaceflight in the same period 1958-1960. That Woomera’s LC-6A and 6B were built to serve the largest of the medium lift (equivalent to ATV payload) military SLVs. These were first purpose built launch-pads for manned vehicles/spaceplanes and space station construction. The most LOX needed for a missile flight was 67 tons, including chilling and topping-up. The plant could produce 18,250 tons LOX a year. Peak planned number of LRBM trial launches 18. Four UK manufacturers making space suit in 1960 at time of programme cancellation. Major Reason for cancellation Common Market and integration/transfer of industrial base to Europe. Remember V-1000 was for V Bomber support, Empire supply etc. Kind regards Spark
