Europe is run by Leftist Morons

[maro]

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.

[quantim]

Hey Boeing, how’s that strike working out for you?

[PIF]

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

[calljack]

100 ton payloads. Crazy good.

[MinorityRepublican]

Look at Boeing. We will go down that direction if Harris wins.

Maybe Elon Musk should relocate to one of the Gulf nations in the Middle East if his goal is to make it to Mars.

[monkeyshine]

It’s a perfect example of the merits of private enterprise over government bureaucracy and bloat.

The ESA reportedly looking at mounting a windmill atop their rockets and solar panels on the sides. /s

[njslim]

Musk, you magnificent bastard ......

[CIB-173RDABN]

The difference between private enterprise and governments.

Space X answers to one man.

Government programs must answer to hundreds (all with their own agenda).

[usconservative]

Europe is currently unable to launch even its own weather satellites, and India, which managed a soft landing on the Moon last year, now has a more credible space program.

Sorry, India's moon landing is FAKE. The video of it looks like a cheap 1990's video game. Not buying India landing on the moon for a second.

[AndyJackson]

It isn’t just Europe. It’s the whole globalist can do nothing elite who have collectively promoted themselves to be in charge of everything. It’s all coming unglued, here in the US as much as anywhere.

[Rockingham]

The humiliation is worse than the article states. Space X performed successful launches this year of Galileo satellites and of ESA scientific payloads.

[DownInFlames]

With the capture of spacex in the tower and Elons plan on 1 hour turnaround times, he can do launches of lunar components and assemble them in space for the ride to the moon. It’s a whole new ballgame.

NASA should be disbanded.

[glorgau]

Not enough scientists and engineers coming in on the boats from Africa.

[clearcarbon]

"Elon’s Musk’s dream has become Europe’s nightmare Europe is currently unable to launch even its own weather satellites, and India, which managed a soft landing on the Moon last year, now has a more credible space program. "

The wages of DEI.
