Are you talking about Huygens? That was launched on a Titan IV in 1997(!) and landed in 2005! In 1997, the EU was a global economic and scientific powerhouse.

In 1997, the EU was a global economic and scientific powerhouse. We're talking about the ossification in the last 15-20 years that has not only allowed the US to leapfrog Europe as the largest economy, but China too.
You are bordering on delusional with these comments.
- varjag 2y agoWas that literally you who complained that Galileo was too new? Is Huygens too old now? Well take your pick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:European_Space_Agency_space_probes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:European_Space_Agency...
- closewith 2y agoI think it's clear you're commenting in bad faith now, as you aren't open to reasonable arguments. I'll leave you at it.
- varjag 2y agoSorry that you feel this way but saying that EU can't complete complex projects is not a reasonable argument.
- Xelbair 2y agotoo new? what? It took too long. around 10-15 years too long. and that probe is older than quite a big portion of HN users.
