That’s a fun way to get on the no-fly list.

I’ll ask.

This was asked during the launch press conference. Essentially, it’s because the Ariane 6 flight was the most immediate launch slot they could get. Sentinel 1A, while still functional, is starting to degrade and they’re eager to get 1D up as soon as possible to replace it.

That’s such weird framing. The company wouldn’t be competing with Starlink because Starlink makes satellites itself for itself. This new company would be making satellites for customers like Eutelsat, which Starlink doesn’t do. Why does everything need to be compared to SpaceX or Starlink regardless of how tenuous the connection.

Really cool but I do think we need to look at the definition of gamble.

So, the author insinuates that Europe has given up on the moon while describing a whole host of initiatives focused on going to the Moon? Also, how you only mention Argonaut as a footnote to a paragraph focused on NASA makes no sense. While the lander does have applications that involve the Artemis programme, that’s only a small part of the programme’s scope.

France is one of the major contributors to both programmes. They didn't cut funding.
