I've been keeping track of this. My university (Swansea University) is one of those involved with that so met a few of the people involved a few years back at a university event. They say it's getting kids involved in science again which I think is great. Things like this, Raspberry Pi and the Curiosity rover all coming together at the same sort of time, it would be a great time to be a kid interested in science.

Not all as cool as the thought of using an F1 engine as a fuel pump, but some cool stuff in there.
