Hura, już wiadomo skąd problemy Arianspace z Ariane 6 i Vegą C. To wina
Musca tych wstrętnych europejskich mikroprywaciaży, którzy odciągają fundusze na swe mikrorakiety przez co biedna Arianspace nie ma pieniążków na swe flagowe projekty.
"A huge mistake would be that this focus on microlaunchers destabilizes Ariane 6 and Vega C—it would be a historic mistake,"
Ej a może któryś z tych mikroprywaciaży może się stać Europejskim Space X... no nie.
Absolutnie nie!. "Microlaunchers can be of support to boost innovation. But we should not make any confusion. This launcher will never give autonomous access to space to Europe. They're on a niche market representing maybe 10 percent of the market, and less than that when it comes to European needs.
"It is not possible to copy-paste the US model," he said. "It is not possible. The level of space spending in the United States is five times higher than in Europe, and the private capital is not the same. So if the answer is to say let's do what the US has done, I think we will not manage to do it."
Ale z drugiej strony... Europa potrzebuje odzyskiwanej rakiety.
"We need a reusable heavy launcher," Israël said. "Full stop. This is what we need. And I do not believe that Europe can afford two, three, or four big or heavy, reusable launchers. It will, for sure, [require] a lot of public money, industrial excellency, and I am more confident than ever that it will [require] solidarity in Europe to make it happen."
Jeśli Arianspace, się zajmie odzyskiwanymi rakietami tak jak się zajęło Ariane - 6 i Vega - C, to zanim skończą, to Starship rzeczywiście będzie robił ósemki wokół Enceladusa... .
