Some in #Europe’s #SpaceIndustry view #Starship as a sign of how far behind they are compared to #SpaceX. “It shows and confirms that Europe 🇪🇺 has completely lost touch. Can it still catch up ? No chance. At least not the way things are going at the moment.” https://spacenews.com/expending-expendables-more-launch-companies-betting-their-future-reusability

Expending the Expendables: More launch companies are betting their future on reusability

The new #Ariane 6 rocket, which is running four years late ⏳ and still hasn't flown, should be the last #LaunchVehicle developed by #ESA, which will launch a competition of #launchers without weight class limitations. The field of startup launch companies in #Europe 🇪🇺 includes German 🇩🇪 firms like #HyImpulse, #RocketFactory Augsburg, and #IsarAerospace; British 🇬🇧 companies such as #Skyrora and #Orbex; and Spain's 🇪🇸 #PLDSpace. #ESA will use around 75 million euros 💰 to pay for the early stages of the #cargo 📦 challenge, which #Aschbacher expects will result in three companies competing with one another https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/after-the-sting-of-ariane-6-europe-finally-embraces-commercial-rockets/
After the sting of Ariane 6, Europe finally embraces commercial rockets

A new deal keeps the Ariane 6 rocket afloat while looking ahead to new launchers.

📆 Sep 5, 2023 #Aschbacher would not commit to a launch date during the first half of 📆 2024 if all went well with the tests.
#Ariane 64 was supposed to cost $126 million 💰. At present, a #Falcon9 rocket, which is roughly comparable in lift capacity, has a base price of $67 📉 million 💶 https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/09/no-firm-date-on-ariane-6s-debut-and-no-public-talk-on-prices-either/2/
European official on Ariane 6 debut: “Please allow me to not speculate at this time”

"The price? It’s better to speak about them with our customers."

Ein toot über bullshit management diagramme hat mich an #aschbacher's diss erinnert.

Quotes wie: "Annahmen sind wie Seepocken an der Seite eines Bootes; sie verlangsamen uns."

Die Diagramme sind auch *chef's kiss*

Das glaub ich sogar. Denn "Annahmen sind wie Seepocken an der Seite eines Bootes, sie verlangsamen uns" - solchen Schwachsinn hat vorher definitiv niemand geschrieben. Wir erinnern uns: https://www.puls24.at/news/politik/aschbachers-dissertation-annahmen-sind-wie-seepocken/223934
