That is the purpose of the EU institutions. It's the 2nd biggest scam, after the mandatory pension schemes. Note that the EU is currently jealous of the biggest ponzi of all time and hence wants its own: they want to remove veto-rights of member states on fiscal policies to be able to create an EU-wide, mandatory, pension fund (it's literally in talks right now).
The public sector knows how to do one thing: seize private property (through taxes) to fund projects whose sole goal is to steal taxpayers money. Going from $3.5bn to $11bn over budget is the goal. In that these projects are very successful.
That's why we don't have the equivalent of Tesla in Europe and that's why the European State Agency is nowhere compared to SpaceX.
There's not a dollar or a EUR that's less well used that a dollar or EUR that's been through public spendings.
Play stupid communist games (like having gigantic public spendings), end, all EU-wide, with a stupid failing economy.
The EU shall only keep falling into irrelevancy on the world scene.
- herewulf 2y agoTo be fair, NASA is nowhere compared to SpaceX also. So SpaceX is quite an anomaly in the USA as well. If SpaceX massively undercutting the prices and massively overshooting the capabilities of the likes of ULA and Boeing could have been predicted, then they never would have gotten the public funding that has bootstrapped this private company into the position it holds today.
