A hopeful astronaut, living his childhood dream to fly to space and become a hero for humanity. The dream in question carried out via a low budget space program originating from the United Kingdom, England to specific. The government, perhaps trying to curry favour with a disenfranchised populace, proposed putting an Englishman in space, whether they were properly trained was another matter entirely. The name of this rather ambitious Englishman is unknown as the program ended in disaster, MADE IN ENGLAND was stamped on everything and in true fashion, it all failed and led to disaster, these photos are the only surviving account we have of this affair, the means of their taking is shrouded in mystery.
