We were, at one stage, one of only 4 countries to have had a satellite up in space...WRESAT, in 1967. Want to know who canceled our space program. Sir Robert Gordon Menzies, our "greatest" Prime Minister. And you want to know what one of his excuses was...."I don't foresee any need to have a space program as I don't see any future in going into space". So much for being a smart man!!!.
