13 years ago, #Arianespace considered #reusability ♻️ a "dream". Nowadays they are still sleeping 😴💤 while they receive funding from #ESA

#taxpayer #nightmare

"So basically the developers of a dead horse who shunned reusability ♻️ still need more tax payers’ money to make their business case work. Even ‘commercial’ launches such as for the #Amazon constellation are reported to be costing the #taxpayer 32 mil. per launch*"

* "#European taxpayers are subsidizing every launch of satellites for Jeff Bezos by roughly $75 million 💰" https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/10/oops-it-looks-like-the-ariane-6-rocket-may-not-offer-europe-any-launch-savings/#page-2
