- AnonymousPlanet 10y agoThanks for mentioning this. I had never heard of it. I love how its display in the London Science Museum reminds me of a Bond movie. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Arrow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Arrow: > Prior to the cancellation of Black Arrow, NASA had offered to launch British payloads for free; however, this offer was withdrawn following the decision to cancel Black Arrow. Ouch. Sounds like bait and switch.
