    ESA is a pork barrel like NASA, Euro style. Airbus does great because it’s now a traded company. ESA is simply an agency designed to maintain Europe’s minor relevance in space. Ariane rockets are a decade behind Space X, 5 years behind china and ISRO.

    Rocket Lab is where I lay my hopes. SpaceX without the giant douchebag. Innovation, incremental, sensible growth, without Billions behind.
