ESA director warns of satellite power of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk – IT Pro – News

Totally agree, in the EU it is meeting, meeting, meeting, plan A, plan B, meeting, meeting and then whining about the rest.

What does Elon & SpaceX do? Decide & do.

Could they do it in Europe too? Let’s go a bit further.

And what else do they fly with the ESA? Disposable missiles, that Ariane junk. Very expensive and not sustainable at all. There you rent 10 falcon 9’s for that money. you hire at least 3 to 4 launches. (Ariane 5 cpl €139-185M & Falcon 9 cpl reused $50M, in 2019 at least, so could be even cheaper now)

And finally, is there public interest in the ESA launches? (To view them) No. Because we will do everything in ‘French’. Because that is very international. Because everyone in the EU speaks French, and no English at all.

Maybe let a person like Musk take charge of the ESA.

bunglers.

Edit; add on
