Oh, now this is interesting. Only in Europe would one
get "The Green Paper on European Space Policy".
http://www.newscientist.com/news/print.jsp?id=ns99993308
Interestingly it points out how Europeans are only
spending $15/head on space while the U.S. is spending
$110/head. (I can understand this -- if one is spending
more to subsidize farmers to produce "green" farm products
then one can't really expect there to be funds available
for space exploration.)
[Yes, I *do* know that the U.S. subsidizes its farmers as well
but I believe the European subsidies are generally higher.]
