Re: They could make the panels structural
Shingles, tiles etc. are not 'structural'. Yes, it's not a bad idea to combine two functions, in this case protection against the elements and power generation, into one component. But trust me, you don't want those compnents to be part of the structural design, aka load bearing elements.

Re: Shortest distance from Kibblesworth would be ...
Today, yes.
Since Kibblesworth was your opening move I assumed you were referring to the test tunnel the Metropolitan Railway dug there in 1855 prior to building the first part of what would later become the London Underground. The Met's grand opening was on 9 January 1863 with a ceremonial run from Paddington to Farringdon - so I thought I'd choose my first move from the stations on the original Met network line.
So, Epping. Interesting.

Bentley burned too much money with his racing team while Rolls-Royce started earning good money making aeroplane engines.
Interesting sidenote: after Rolls got himself killed in an aeroplane, the board voted that the company would never be involved in anything to do with planes. Royce went home and made design sketches for his first aero engine.

Re: Complacent^n!
"Companies that take the complacent route are gambling that their customers won't care enough to vote with their feet and buy from a vendor who does care."
And in 8 out of 10 times* they will win that gamble because most people will choose convenience over security (and won't start to care until it's far too late to do so).
* Admittedly a ratio I just pulled out of thin air, but I don't think I'm that far off.

"If accurate, you could expect an exodus of US services from the country."
Naah. Non-US encryption is purely 'theoretical'. The boss of the CIA said so. And if non-US encryption is 'theoretical', so are the theoretical back doors in the theoretical non-US encryption, see? So, no worries.

Wouldn't call it 'smooth' - but hey, any landing you can walk away from (or could have walked away from) is a good landing.
As to the other points raised so far:
I hope that this is the beginning of the real golden age of space exploration. So far it's looking good. It seems like this time it's really about actually doing it because it's worth doing. The classic space race was all about [insert nation] being first and proving the superiority of [insert political/economical system]. At least as far as the guys who signed the cheques were concerned.
Upvote for the 'Barbarella' reference.
And yes, this one should be painted pink.
