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.
It really is amazing isn’t it? In addition to vastly more launches and cheaper launches and technology nobody else can compete with in reusable rockets, SpaceX also has Starlink which is the only communications system the Russians can’t jam. ....and not only communications but is also for targeting for smart bombs/missiles as well and navigation for ships at sea too. Its miles ahead of everybody else in its coverage worldwide.
