As a person involved in the operations side of this campaign. HOLY SHIT we did it!

FANTASTIC accomplishment, congratulations!!!!

Now: please make it rapidly reusable and at least 10x larger. Europe desperately needs sovereign launch capabilities in that class. Today, you were the first to cross the starting line. AWESOME. Have a drink, get some rest, and get back to work. Everyone will be rooting for you!

Congrats! Do you have an EU flag on the wall like the US space companies have an US flag?

  • EU isn't a single identity. Usually overt displays of nationalism is frowned upon in Europe, especially in Germany. Moreover I have a strong guess that if there would be a flag, it would be the Bavarian one for a company called "Isar".

    • EU is a single well defined entity, the frowned upon flags are the German flags, EU flags are well tolerated especially in international settings.

      For example the first electric plane that recently flew was originally European until last year and they had an EU flag on it. When eventually flew in USA they had the US flag.
