Germany is spending lots of money on ESA and thus Arianespace. Of course they wont do that and ALSO give plenty of funding to startups.
Germany on its own very much could develop its own rocket, the question if just if this is a priority or not. And it isn't.
> Nothing useful is coming out.
They are doing engine test and structural test. Same as pretty much most second generation rocket startups.
And of course they are going 'nowhere' but that has nothing to do with Germany and everything to do with the economics of launch. There is a reason Virgin Orbit went bust. Astra is about to be bust. And a few others will follow soon enough.
