STATEMENT

We have to admit that last night’s announcement came as something of surprise because we had wished to keep our involvement – borne of a recent National Rust board-level decision that the Rust should endeavour to take its position as one of the world’s most-visited websites to a whole new level – under wraps until just before our intended stock market flotation in May.

Nevertheless, since these things have a habit of leaking in this internet-based media age, ‘stuff happens’ and we may as well confirm the rumour. The chance to go further into space than any previous man-made flight was an opportunity too good to miss. As and when it all comes to pass we promise to report from the inside without fear or favour upon one of the great exploratory scientific expeditions in the history of human-kind.
