A friend of mine who works at Surrey Satellite Technologies Limited alerted me to this pretty neat thing: Lego has a scheme whereby proposed kits and designs can be produced by them if they receive enough support on a community website. Someone has proposed a kit for the Galileo Global Navigation Satellites, parts of which are made here in Guildford. If you'd like to see the kit made available, please add your support at the Lego Galileo Spacecraft page. It doesn't oblige you to buy one when it gets to market, but Lego is pretty cool stuff, and Lego are also a place where at least I feel comfortable spending my money, given that every time we spend money we are undertaking an act about as political as anything else we do.
