A new, nuclear-powered rocket is being tested, with the first British astronaut aboard. The smallest error could turn it into a flying nuclear bomb spreading radioactive fallout over a wide area of Europe. And an error does occur.

Products - ideas - techniques
The export drive: spotlight on the men, the methods, the markets, that are earning Britain's living abroad.

A Constable painting for shillings... a Doris Lindner sculpture for a few pounds. Only copies, of course, but for years one has been part of the trade of an old-established firm in the fine art field; the other's increasing popularity abroad is due to one tiny company's use of a special technique for casting bronze. Both are playing an important part in the growing world market for British art reproductions. It's a profitable market, too; prints and other replicas accounted for a big slice of the £22-million Britain earned from art exports last year.
