An interesting interview with the right questions and a generally knowledgeable conversation partner* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H5IvbIx7WE

* Claudia Kessler worked for #Airbus (former #EADS), which owns a large stake in #ArianeSpace. So she can hardly claim publicly that #Ariane6 isn't competitive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Kessler#Life_and_work

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

"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*"
