Lots cheaper to send a person or two up than it is to send a manned rocket up. Whatta waste of money. Whatta comedy. Brits are good at comedy. LOL Monty Python in space. Or the two Ronnies. The Fawlty bunch. roflYeah, but Canada isn't sending a craft to the Moon. It may one do so alongside NASA or ESA, but not independently like Great Britain.
Also, lotsa easier to use someone else's take-off pads and whatnot. Don't have to find land for it, find a hole in the weather for a time to lift one off, etc. Just build a satellite once in a while and get someone else to send it up. Or send a couple scientists to someone and say, "Here, you send em up".
