&quot;Space is for everybody. It&#x27;s not just for a few people in science or math, or for a select group of astronauts. That&#x27;s our new frontier out there, and it&#x27;s everybody&#x27;s business to know about space.&quot; Christa McAuliffe, December 6, 1985 Building a Space Gateway for the whole of the UK from the Arc has been identified as a key project in the recently launched Arc Economic Prospectus. The Oxford to Cambridge Arc plays host to clusters of space-related activity, including the Satellite Applications Catapult, as well as the propulsion and testing centres at Westcott and Harwell.
