Europe is run by Leftist Morons
Whichever nation first militarizes space will control the 21st century.
The article said the European Space Agency has failed to embrace reusable rockets, I have news for the writer, no one else has embraced reusable rockets, not NASA, not China, not Russian, no one has done it because the engineering must be beyond their current capabilities, much less catch a booster right at the launch pad.
Meanwhile, the State of California, EU and the US Governments are all out to cripple Elon Musk for allowing free speech and embarrassing them on a daily basis.
Hey Boeing, how’s that strike working out for you?
“Europe is run by Leftist Morons”
So is America
And Europe has nothing in the pipeline to match the SpaceX Starship, which will be able to launch payloads of 100 tons or more.
—
Current version of Starship is 50 tons to LEO
Version 3 is 200 tons to LEO
100 ton payloads. Crazy good.
Maybe Elon Musk should relocate to one of the Gulf nations in the Middle East if his goal is to make it to Mars.

China is on track to be the first, as it also is not held back by treaties unlike everyone else.
We'll see what happens. Europe? No.
China and Russia are both autocratic nations.
Maybe India even though their country is quite chaotic.

NO!!! If they go strict Islamic, then anything not mentioned in the koran is anathema, and must be destroyed.
It’s a perfect example of the merits of private enterprise over government bureaucracy and bloat.
Some of their leaders are modern and they're actually quite innovative. Just look at Dubai.
Plus they do not have to deal with the "woke" crap like we do in the West.
Islamic fundamentalism appears to be a problem in countries like Iran and Turkey.
But even with Iran, I'm pretty optimistic. Wait and see what happens in 20 years. The Mullahs may be no longer in charge. So Iran will look very different by then.
Turkey may try to establish an Islamic Caliphate though.
Not a bad deal for Elon Musk to be friends with the Sultan over in Dubai. Then he can build a spaceport in the desert.
这是正确的
The ESA reportedly looking at mounting a windmill atop their rockets and solar panels on the sides. /s
Musk, you magnificent bastard ......
More than that. There is a planned variant that can lift 150 tons.
More like, “Hey, Boeing, how’s that DEI working out for you?”
India will make the attempt, if only to put China in check.
