At least it was unmanned. Not too bad, just a waste of some gear.

Tax payer replies piss me off. Just because it cost £123m doesn't meant the £123m is gone - its been paid to American companies who in turn are paying American wages and probably buying American materials.

That's one thing the Americans do fairly well - recycle tax dollars.

Unlike most infrastructure projects over here in which UK revenue disappears abroad.
