How will Europe be taking advantage of its new access to space? | DW News

Europe's newest rocket launched from the European spaceport in Kourou in French Guiana for a nearly three-hour flight. It comes four years later than initially planned. Companies from 13 different countries were involved in the rocket’s construction and development.
It's intended to transport satellites into space for commercial and public clients at a much lower cost than its predecessor.

    We have to remember that SpaceX has a long history of rockets blowing up or failing to land and they just kept working at it until they got it right. There is a tendency for politicians and the public not to tolerate failure which tends to steer these projects into a more conservative direction where they go with safer proven technology.

    @@zinjanthropus322 , it’s not entirely a failure at least it preserves their strategic goal of maintaining an independent EU launch ability. Their mistake is understandable since at the time that SpaceX really started to come into their prime they were already midway through developing this thing. And meanwhile, the vehicle was set to retire so they didn’t really have any other options. Now that it is done, they can turn their attention and resources into developing reusable technology like the Chinese are busy doing. I suspect in five years from now, everyone will have the same technology and no one will remember those few years that Europe and everyone else was behind. In a way it mirrors a lot like what Tesla is going through now as its competitors are catching up.

    @@DaveP-uv1ml because SpaceX shared their patents… No way they could have done it themselves. By the time they have implemented that tech it will be antiquated. SpaceX has a record of near perfect efficiency once the product is past the iterative design phase. The iterative design process is why they’re able to develop technology at a much faster rate than everyone else that gets hung up on possible failures whilst designing their technology. Best of luck with these costly one and dones though. I can’t see there being much of a market for them other than possible military and reconnaissance satellites that will also be 2nd tier. This seems more like a vanity project more than anything.

    ​@@zinjanthropus322SpaceX until now hasn't been able to demonstrate that reusability of the booster makes rocket launches cheaper. Think about it, the rocket can carry less payload per launch, if it needs to save fuel for a soft landing. With the huge cost for every kg deployed to space this is a massive downside. As far as we know right now, reusable rockets are a gimmick that looks cool and is great for marketing, but doesn't offer real advantages.

    Space INDEPENDENCE DAY??? This is just a "return to flight". Or "resumption of launch capability". "Independence" implies someone was tyrannically OPPRESSING Europe and artificially preventing the European space industry from making progress. This gap in launch capability is 100% the fault of Europe's own mistakes and failures to innovate and compete, just like it was America's own fault it lost the global market for commercial launches to Europe in the 90s & 2000s. Europe got lazy and complacent with Ariane 5's success and stopped paying attention.
