Europe has its first commercial orbital rocket

Comments

1. Kianm: finally some decent European competition for Elon's boys. still don't get why this launch took two attempts though, seems like basic math to figure out when the engines are faulty
2. Static Rune: good for them, first step in a new direction, now what's the payload?
3. Diegokwan: still doesn't count as 'commercial' if they used gov funding to get this far
4. Marshleo: they managed to get it right this time, let's not gloss over the 30 seconds of failure though
5. Zoe: good to see some real progress in the eu space industry finally
6. Islag: seems Isar Aerospace is getting some buzz now. wonder if their focus on lower-cost rockets will disrupt the market like they're claiming
7. Lena: thought this was already happening years ago
8. Avamarsh: nice to see some good innovation out of Europe, finally
9. Fractal Sable: fascinating to see european innovation taking off like this
10. Selimkarim: amazed they're actually catching up to the US now, will be interesting to see if this is a cost-effective alternative
11. Solomar: That's awesome news, finally some good vibes for Europe's space game, but how's the environmental impact gonna be?
12. Brunov: finally a European company doing something exciting with space technology, not just reliant on others' failures
