never hear about Arianespace anymore

Really? Arianespace just had a very successful and accurate launch of the Jame$ Webb $pace Tele$cope in December on a Araine 5 rocket. There are 9 more Araine 5s to go, and they are preparing an initial Araine 6 rocket for the first half of 2023.

Arianespace recognizes they're behind on reusable vehicles, and so are planning on some kind of partially-reusable "Araine Next" rocket for the 2030s. We'll see what they come up with, when. (Subsidies breed complacency…)

might i rephrase that, “I” haven’t heard of them lately

guess maybe because it’s not “news” anymore
