It is not difficult to understand the anxiety of the European continent about the rise of SPACEX and its controversy, Elon Musk.
SPACEX had accessed space and provided safe communication, surpassing European space and its institutional partners in almost all methods. For example, last year, SpaceX started 134 orbital missions. There were three in Europe. SPACEX runs more than 7,000 satellite constellations and offers a broadband Internet worldwide. Europe wants to have a much less modest ability to serve the continent for $ 11 billion on the continent by 2030.
And there is a legitimate reason in Europe to be wary of working directly with Spacex. First, Europe wants to maintain a soblin access to the universe and a space -based communication network. Second, purchasing a service from SPACEX will impair the European space business. Finally, and probably the most important thing, the mask has recently launched government attacks in Europe’s capital, such as Berlin and London, and occupied a slogan that “greatly enhanced Europe.” This seems to be accompanied by abandoning the modest coalition of European countries and replacing them with authoritative and right leaders.
It all understands that Europe wants to provide a reasonable answer to SpaceX’s advantage.

The publication reports that the lecture is preliminary and has created a cosmic service portfolio, including Tales -based Tales and Italian Leonardospa. Leonardo hired Bank of America Inc. for a plan called Project Bromo. (According to the Merriam-Webster, “Bromo” is a type of bromate, which means a bad smell derived from the Greek BRōmos.)
