Not a great road map. A nice little science organization hampered by being chained to an delusional monopoly in Arianespace and politicians with no real interest in space beyond propping up its local space industry. Some of the goals are flat out contradictory. So in summation here is the strategy: - Do everything ourselves - Maybe be a minor partner but still be able to do everything ourselves - Be a minor partner in all human space flight activities for the next 40 years - Be a leader of partners. Now I provide the non marketing translation for those that don't know enough about European space politics: - HELP! we are forced to pay Arianespace unlimited amount of money so they can maybe figure out how Falcon 9 works and not go bust while doing it. - We don't have funding to anything ourselves so we just go along with NASA on everything and do some research to convince ourselves that we could do it to if we had the money. - Pretend we are not totally and utterly reliant on NASA and SpaceX by doing small project with UAE
