Ironically, New Zealand, a former colony, has an active rocket launch facility.

  Half the world's launch facilities are in former British colonies.

    That's not a difficult statistic to attain when Britan has invaded ~90% of the worlds nations: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/nov/06/british-invaded-90-per-cent-world https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/nov/06/britis... It seems that only 22 countries and territories have escape British invasion. Yay Mongolia!

      That was sortof my point. GP singled out New Zealand which I thought was a bit odd given British imperial history. But hey, totally picking nits.
