As we’re totally cucked now.
America came out very well from WW2 and was smashing out Rocketry there was very little need for a broke beat up Britain to try to compete when they can just chip in.
Also we’re not near the equator. Britain does ground breaking satellite work and support stuff to be taken up by American rockets. Most of the cool shit we do is played down culturally to avoid Lefties demand it get taxed to shit to fun Paki ghettos.
