Project Nova will establish three telescopes on Bermuda's north west coast, capable of spotting asteroids or rogue satellites heading towards Earth. According to multiple reports, the telescopes are powerful enough to see objects smaller than a Rubik's Cube in low Earth orbit.

It's such a pleasure to have you.
The specific cost breakdown of the £40 million Project Nova and the number of telescopes planned across British territories beyond Bermuda remain unclear.
This was a very exciting time.
There's a 50/50 split in Bermuda between those who think it should remain a British Overseas Territory and those who think it should be an independent nation. But there's no problem with a child leaving home at some point and standing on their own and taking care of themselves with the opportunity to reach out to the parent country if ever needed.
