#ESA boss tires of being dragged around by #NASA mood swings
ESA Director General #Aschbacher warned of dependence on third parties for programs including human spaceflight. ESA removed reliance on Russia for missions such as ExoMars, turbulence in US space policy has given the agency pause for thought.
In 2025, insider referred to NASA as "an abusive spouse who could lash out at any moment in unpredictable ways." In 2026, Aschbacher's patience appears to be running out.

‘You cannot live without space in 20 years’: What does the future of Europe’s economy look like?

“20 years ago, nobody would have ever imagined the dimension of what the internet brings today for daily life and I think space is in a similar situation,” Josef Aschbacher, director general of the European Space Agency, told Euronews' The Big Question.

Some in #Europe’s #SpaceIndustry view #Starship as a sign of how far behind they are compared to #SpaceX. “It shows and confirms that Europe 🇪🇺 has completely lost touch. Can it still catch up ? No chance. At least not the way things are going at the moment.” https://spacenews.com/expending-expendables-more-launch-companies-betting-their-future-reusability

#ESA #Aschbacher #Ariane6

The new #Ariane 6 rocket, which is running four years late ⏳ and still hasn't flown, should be the last #LaunchVehicle developed by #ESA, which will launch a competition of #launchers without weight class limitations. The field of startup launch companies in #Europe 🇪🇺 includes German 🇩🇪 firms like #HyImpulse, #RocketFactory Augsburg, and #IsarAerospace; British 🇬🇧 companies such as #Skyrora and #Orbex; and Spain's 🇪🇸 #PLDSpace. #ESA will use around 75 million euros 💰 to pay for the early stages of the #cargo 📦 challenge, which #Aschbacher expects will result in three companies competing with one another https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/after-the-sting-of-ariane-6-europe-finally-embraces-commercial-rockets/

📆 Sep 5, 2023 #Aschbacher would not commit to a launch date during the first half of 📆 2024 if all went well with the tests.
#Ariane 64 was supposed to cost $126 million 💰. At present, a #Falcon9 rocket, which is roughly comparable in lift capacity, has a base price of $67 📉 million 💶 https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/09/no-firm-date-on-ariane-6s-debut-and-no-public-talk-on-prices-either/2/

Das glaub ich sogar. Denn "Annahmen sind wie Seepocken an der Seite eines Bootes, sie verlangsamen uns" - solchen Schwachsinn hat vorher definitiv niemand geschrieben. Wir erinnern uns: https://www.puls24.at/news/politik/aschbachers-dissertation-annahmen-sind-wie-seepocken/223934
