The British National Space Centre (BNSC) was a British government body that coordinated civil space activities for the UK. It was replaced on 1 April 2010 by the UK Space Agency.

Structure

BNSC operated as a voluntary partnership of ten British government departments and agencies and research councils. The civil portion of the British space programme focused on space science, Earth observation, satellite telecommunications, and global navigation (for example GPS and Galileo). The latest version of the UK civil space strategy which defined the goals of BNSC was published in February 2008. Notably the BNSC had a policy against human spaceflight, and did not contribute to the International Space Station.

A. Here is a larger view on mankind's continual progress on earth. First will come one standard world language of English, with many words from other languages being added as expanded "English". Maybe in one hundred or less years. Then one world race will be largely achieved; this mixed race will be superior to today's nine somewhat blended races. Life expectancy will increase to several hundred years on average. Maybe in a few hundred more years. Then one planetary government of all people, by all people, and for all people will be established and well functional. Maybe in one or two more thousand years. Then one planetary and universe supernal philosophy and religion will happen in a few thousand to 50,000 (maximum) more years. Sooner… [cont.]
