The European Space Agency has been waiting for its turn, and finally its moment has come to show to the world that Europe is a challenger in the race to win space. The Ariane 6, their new rocket, is on its way to its maiden flight this year 2024. But here's the thing: some people are saying it's too little, too late. They think Europe's missed the boat on reusable rockets and that Ariane 6 is just a desperate attempt to play catch-up with the likes of SpaceX.
But hold up, hold up! Before you go writing off Ariane 6 as a lost cause, hear me out. Because I'm here to tell you that this rocket isn't just Europe's last hope; it's a game-changer in its own right. Ariane 6 isn't just about competing with SpaceX; it's about ensuring Europe's sovereignty in space and protecting its strategic interests.
