@klaehnr @SciGuySpace In Europe, ESA decides what to build, who will build it, how will it be launched, how much will it cost and chooses the WHOLE CHAIN of subcontractors. A group of 20 people take all the major decisions yielding 0 consequences on whichever the result is.

This is a relevant quote from Max Planck about the anti reusability lobby at @esa , at @CNES, in industry and government. Until these people retire nothing is gonna change.

Le gvt allemand n'est pas dans une #Europe des projets mais celle des nations. Il fait lancer des satellites par les concurrents américains. La #CFECGC craint une mort subite du nouveau lanceur #Ariane6 ! ⁦@gabfd⁩ ⁦@ludovicandrevon⁩ objectifaquitaine.latribune.fr/business/indus…

Comes in a roundabout manner but a Sept. 26 GAO protest denial included a NASA statement that SpaceX is now advertising Falcon 9's base price as $52M, down from $62M. Musk has already floated "$50M" but NASA's acknowledgment is a strong sign that it really is the new base price.

Moscow's Kommersant newspaper reported that the Russian government had rejected @oneweb satellite Internet company's request to operate inside the country. (Yes, the same constellation that Russian #Soyuz rockets help to deploy). HERE IS WHY: russianspaceweb.com/oneweb.html

So no further comment from @NASA or @SpaceX on the #CrewDragon explosion. Nothing more from @JimBridenstine. @elonmusk has said nothing. Nor has #GwynneShotwell. A sign, I think, of just how bad this is and how they're really struggling to figure out what to do.
