“Fair point, but the UK already has trident [dependent on old US tech from the 1980s].”
“Manned space programs are a flex but they're not required to develop ICBMs and MRBMs.”

You really have no clue about the current state of 21st Century space technology.
The majority of SpaceX launches are commercial launches.
“England is fucked for many reasons, but ‘not wasting money on space boondoggles’ isn't one of them.”
It will be hilarious if China decides to crush the British Isles from orbit, as vengeance for the Opium War.
“The 1960s space race was fuelled by the belief that space was going to be the next colonisation and military frontier. It wasn't.”
You have total incompetence at the current and future state of 21st Century military geopolitics.
Slave morality.
