I'd just like to add I've nothing against the Indians or Chinese. I'm sure they very competent - after all both those countries have their own satellite launch programs.
It's just a crying shame that this country gave up on serious science sometime in the 60s. A culture gets what it deserves. It's no coincidence that in Victorian times, scientists were celebrities. Now they are labelled "geeks" or "nerds" and the celebrities are Chantelle or Jade Goody.

We've advanced to more honourable professions like ambulance chasing.
