Serious question, I know, I know, everyone is sick of the word .. I'll not use it! .. but:

How does the UK leaving the EU affect it's ESA membership?

Can the UK continue to use the French territorial launch sites as easily as they do now?

And finally, from the article, "23 of its 38 currently operational spacecraft as having British input". I wonder are they referring the to Isle of Man here? Which has plenty of satellite companies due to, from what I understand, a very favourable tax regime for space companies.
