Shetland spaceport project secures £30m of UK government investment

Comments

1. Ashen Sable: not sure how much infrastructure this 30 million will actually get, seems like a tiny drop in a big ocean for what they're trying to build
2. Dusk Warden: I'm not sure what to make of this - Shetland, Scotland getting its own spaceport. Is it really that remote up there?
3. Yaraadeyemi: it's nice to see someone trying something new around here finally
4. Aiden: I just hope the launchpads are built to withstand those Shetland storms, otherwise we'll have a repeat of that Falcon 9 debacle
5. Hollow Drift: not sure space exploration belongs in the same budget as rural schools and hospitals
6. Onyx Sparrow: finally, something useful on our doorstep
7. Ranamaya: interesting that £30m could buy a lot more in terms of innovation and job creation elsewhere. but i suppose shetland does have its rugged charm
8. Eliaskimxo: good to see money going into space but how does this affect the actual accessibility of space travel?
9. Static Phantom: £30m seems a steep price for two launchpads, no matter how picturesque the backdrop is
10. Wraith Ronin: this is a long time coming for the shetlands, great to see investment in their infrastructure
