I think it's a European cultural thing. They're not good at selling sizzle.
- hcks 3y agoBeing 10 years behind technologically is surely a European cultural thing. Besides, what’s there to sell? An experiment SpaceX did back in 2016?
- martin8412 3y agoYea.. What SpaceX does is straight up illegal in the EU. For the good of everyone.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoWhat? ESA seems very interested in reusable launch vehicles as of late.
- martin8412 3y agoSpaceX keeps breaking the law left and right. They're currently being sued for contaminating a wildlife sanctuary, and they're constantly at odds with the FAA. Not to mention various state agencies.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoThey have a pretty good relationship with the FAA. I hate to be so blunt but you do not have enough knowledge of this topic to be overstating like such.
- panick21_ 3y agoAnybdoy can sue at any time. It meaningless and does not mean a law was broken.
- FeepingCreature 3y ago10 years, I wish. 10 years ago was SpaceX's first reentry attempt.
- mardifoufs 3y agoIs this a joke? I keep seeing this sentiment on this comment section but this is the complete opposite of my experience in Europe ( don't live there anymore though). Maybe it was just France, but every single inconsequential start up was labelled as the next Google and every city was the new SV. every tiny corporation had to have its army of "cadres" and European businesses' love for countless "initiatives" , buzzwords, blockchain, greenwashing... And so on would make American big tech look downright bullshit free in comparison. I'm not American and even then it left me with a weird feeling of little man syndrome.
