[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Will we 'be allowed' use of this technology post Brexit?

[BazaJT]

Don't know.What is it?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The European version of GPS and Glonass.......only better.

[Lizzie Zoom]

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

[BazaJT]

GPS I've heard of although I usually know whereabouts I am Glonass I've never heard of so it would seem I can manage without it

I think we have already contributed over 1 billion to Galileo, Lizzie.

Soviet version of GPS........although it's not the USSR any more and Brezhnev is long dead.

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

Looks like the French contribute the most!

I don't know, but I think Rod's friend, Putin, would argue that one!!

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.

Did they all drink from the same teapot?

'Gorby' was next in line who perhaps he had a hand in it......

[Sir Tigger KC]

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.
