Europe needs to fund the shit out of ESA, this company, satellites, and everything else that has to do with space. Musk is about to become a monopolist in space, and we can’t be dependent on that. We can’t depend on the Americans anymore. Not on earth, not in space. If you want to compete with SpaceX, you need billions, not millions. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good start, but much, much more is needed.
But I fear it’s not going to happen. Once Trump strikes a deal with Putin, Western Europe will fall asleep again, and return to business as usual. I’ve seen too many “wake-up calls” to believe real change will happen.
Good luck to them, they have a lot to catch up
