    Australia is very much a participant in the space industry with about 11,500 people working in the field. However, it has never had its own space agency -- and that may put it at a disadvantage next to the US, Canada and other countries that have concerted space strategies. The government hopes to fix that

            What will they call their space station? What do they call the cleaning material they use on it?

              Unfortunately, they rejected their first choice of name: Australian Research & Space Exploration
