Let's use those ridicule and inhuman military budgets for that. We'll have 100 x what is needed! Let's go!

​@@ooberholzerunfortunately Europe is gripped by a bizzaro fascist regime

Bro they can’t even handle the money they have right now… If money could solve ESA’s issues, all of them would’ve been solved by now.

@@muzero2642 How to say "I don't know what I am talking about" but using more words. ESA runs on a much smaller budget than many other space agencies Which are all underfunded considering the vanity projects politicians love to pump taxpayers' money into. There are many projects ESA has proposed that the funding has never been given for. Things including using the ATV vehicles as starting points for crewed vehicles, space stations, etc. To name just a tiny fraction.

Yeah like iss.

@erod7316 Yeah, you're right ✅️. ISS is one of the greatest inventions done by NASA and ESA together.

@@DivyanshuRaj-pe9lwAnd JAXA and Roscos

What are you talking about, this is the 60's technology, without full reusability there's no spacefaring at all.

Anyone can "take on" ambitious projects. keeping them alive, progressing, and FUNDED, is a whole other kettle of fish, to say nothing of completing. We shall see.

Considering projects like ITER or CERN Europe is pretty good at this too. @@gettotheGate

Thank you that is why I'm depressed and not thinking clearly more than I do I'm desperately trying to be innovative and creative and will work for little pay I just want to make enough to pay half Bill for month every month 😢❤

Taking on ? Yes completing ? Uh... we'll see...

We're glad you enjoyed this! Thank you for watching ☺️

It's more about resiliance than about competition on the long run... Mindset has to evolve mate

Yeah, isn't it amazing when you can steal as much money as you need through taxation to make anything "work"

​@@erico5865 especially with how underfunded ESA is, you're probably not paying much for it anyways

@@erico5865 I mean, if you don't want to pay taxes then just move to Antarctica or something. ESA's budget is just 0.65% of total European Union budget anyway.

More like 1-2 steps behind, most of this is stuff they should have been doing 10-15 years ago and that others have been doing for years at this point. Hell, some of this is stuff that ESA has been talking about for 10 years and not made any significant progress with. On top of that, Vega has been plagued with problems and Ariane 6 still hasn't flown yet. Europe's launch industry is in a very difficult position, and it won't be easy to recover from that.

POV of an American: "How ESA will finance the new companies" They won't if Arianegroup/France has anything to say about it. But if they do receive funding, it will be paying for the launch of ESA payloads and the development of an Ariane 6 replacement. "When Europe will start using reusable 1st stage rockets." Most likely no earlier than 2030. "When will Europe use reusable 1st and 2nd stage rockets?" Maybe by 2040. Maybe. "When will Europe have a space plane?" Space Rider is technically a space plane. But it doesn't land on a runway. Assuming you want something like the Space Shuttle, then you shouldn't. The Shuttle sent the USA back to the pre-apollo days. Maybe you guys can pull it off (If Europe tries, then I'll be wishing for their success), but not before 2040. "But when will we see the demonstrator, prototype, and first test flights of the next generation spaceplane or space vehicles?" For Susie (which, most likely, will suffer the same fate as Hermes), that would be now. But for an actual prototype, then it varies. I'd expect to see Falcon 9-gen prototype in the 2027-2028 time range, and Starship-gen prototypes in the 2035-2040 range. "The only way to succeed rapidly is to boost the new private companies in their efforts" Agreed. SpaceX is proof of this. "Let the competition begin. Let us join the space race and create the European space economy." I would love to see that happen.

In 2025 Maïa Can be the first european reusable opérational launcher, and the next génération or Ariane rocket (Ariane next or 7) has already study for reusable

@@tecmons One: NET 2026. And they are roughly where SpaceX was with Starship in 2018. That implies at least five years until a test flight. Most likely more. And Ariane Next will take even longer, with development probably starting after Maia is proven. I want Europe to succeed, but from an external perspective, it seems very unlikely.

The EU just recently realised the need to expand the ESA programs into space so they don't fall behind the rest of the world or become dependent on NASA and the US. But you can be sure that there will be some aggressive expansion in the coming years after the 2023 decisions to finally put a heavy focus on this.

Sorry, but.. no.

Are you talking about the Skylon spaceplane?

To qualify my earlier comment - look at how Tesla (and BYD&Co) is wiping the floor with the legacy automakers. Then realize that those legacy car makers have at least been somewhat competitive and needed to earn their keep mostly themselves.. this did NEVER apply to behemoths like ESA (or NASA).

And china, don't forget the space race with them.

Proud of what? Nice CGIs ? There's not one working rocket. Should have at least kept ArianeV untill the next one works. Don't get me wrong; I want spaceflight in Europe. But RFA will probably do more than ESA. 🚀🏴‍☠️🎸

@@MichaelWinter-ss6lx There's clearly one working rocket on the video. You are utterly blind of course.

@@MichaelWinter-ss6lx well everything has a start. spacex had just CGIS at first too. time will tell

sure buddy,

@@MrChaosi its a fact. america has 2 private companies more successful than europes entire space program let alone NASA. Weird to me europe doesnt just fall under nasa and work together.

le projet SUSIE n'a toujours pas de financement

Si tout va bien le premier Lanceur réutilisable européen sera en 2025 avec le projet Maïa puis Ariane 7 vers 2030

@@tecmons Magnifique - J'ai hâte de les voir!

I mean, if you are going to test them more than once, then you don’t want to damage them by dropping them onto a concrete floor.

A quel point l'ESA est impliqué dans l'aide ou même le financement des projets de Latitude. Je pense qu'ils présentent surtout des entreprises et projets où l'ESA a de l'impact.

Si c’est ca, ça pose la question de pourquoi latitude et autres Start-up françaises ne sont pas dans le scope … la compétition sera-est-elle vraiment fair et ouverte ?

l'Europe a tout ce qu'il faut pour briller : 2 ieme plus gros budget spatial apres la NASA, on as les technologies, les connaissances, les ingénieurs, et bientôt les lanceurs, il ne manque que la volonté politique des différents pays européens

@@tecmons entièrement d’accord, il ne manque plus que la volonté politique ! 😔 Entre les guerres d’ego: le souhait d’indépendance (Italie), un œil sur SpaceX plutôt que d’encourager Ariane 6 en favorisant ses propres micro lanceurs (Allemagne), et d’attendre quasiment 2 ans pour que les ministres de chaque État membre se prononcent … l’Europe pourra être encore plus ambitieuse ! 🤔🤝 Coopérer au lieu de se faire la compétition ! Pendant se temps le newspace américain, NZ et chinois avancent… même les indiens ont leur capsule pour le vol habité … 💪🫨🫣😮‍💨

@@arnaudj.974 Et les japonais auront bientôt des capacités de ravitaillement de L'ISS que l'on avait autrefois avec les ATV.

Malheureusement ou non, ça reste à débattre, actuellement la tendance est clairement à la compétition pour les lanceurs européens.

10 ans de retard tu es gentil. Ils sont bien sympas l’ESA avec leurs nouveaux projets pleins les tiroirs, mais si au lieu de se foutre de la gueule de SpaceX avec Ariane Group et le CNES, ils avaient remonté leurs manches et bosser, on serait pas à la routasse complet. J'espère qu'ils ont viré leur boomer, parce que se faire doubler par une start-up en 15 ans, c'est licenciement dans le privé. Ouais je l’ai mauvaise. Pas avoir de lanceur avec notre savoir faire et les capacités financières de l’Europe. Il y a clairement un problème de leadership.
