Space launch crisis in Europe.

Raúl Torres published this note amid criticism, and I think there is an air of concern about the situation in Europe, the graph talks about the launch crisis that Europe suffered last year, three space launches, as you know there is competition and an increase in everything that is the space industry, everything that is launches, the space satellite industry, etc. and which is led by the United States with SpaceX in the lead with 145 and China with 67, 17 in Russia, 27 in Asia, I guess Australia, New Zealand and 3 in Europe.

I have been criticizing the management of the European space agency, what is happening with the billions of the European space agency, for a time it was the second the second space agency in the world, now it is the third at a height similar to that of Russia and I don't know if India, as India continues to prosper, will surely surpass it, but even so we are talking about budgets of billions of euros.

We know that the European space agency knows how to make very “showy” and very “showy” councils of ministers, but the problem is the results and the results are that they are very poor, Europe's old bureaucracy is one of the problems it has, Then in addition to the European space agency that combines a lot of European countries, European countries, many of them have their own space agencies, the Italian space agency, the British one, Germany also has its own, Spain has created a space agency new, there are even autonomous space agencies such as the space of Catalonia.

The problem with creating many space agencies, especially in Europe where they like bureaucracy so much, is creating those space agencies but also creating an administrative cabinet, of executives, of directors, of positions of trust, of people placed more or less at hand. , of friends placed here, of the girlfriend or boyfriend of the minister placed here and the number of technical personnel that you have left to hire is greatly reduced and of course the budgets of space missions are large and complex in the end with your small budget you have to collaborate with other agencies to be able to carry out something space program.

And what happens is that normally in the case of Europe the great partner is usually NASA and we find situations such as for example in the Artemis program to return to the moon or the James Web space telescope or the Hubble space telescope, all of these are programs internationals where many nations participate and for example the European space agency puts a lot of money in both the Artemis program and the James Webb program as well as in the management of Hubble, but in the end the headlines put NASA, they only talk about NASA.

Yes, that is just propaganda, but propaganda also costs, propaganda also costs money and it is propaganda that we Europeans are paying for through taxes. I don't see Europe's strategy at all clear, I think Europe should be independent. We do not have the capacity to even send astronauts to space, we have to depend on Russia or the United States.

It is one thing that you collaborate in space programs, but at the same level, not as a subordinate, not in the small print below in the content of the news, not at the same level in the headline but well, that's my opinion, I don't know what you think about this topic Of course I think they should get involved in the European space agency and change the trajectory and be more ambitious because as it is right now the situation is very sad.
