Europe's rocket to compete with SpaceX FAILED, Elon Musk Laugh...
After witnessing the instability in the commercial space industry and the excessive reliance on SpaceX's rocket, the European Space Agency decided to make a determined effort to launch a rocket into orbit from European soil for the first time.
Sadly, this is the results: (explosion video)
Now the question is: why did that rocket explode?

The launch of European rockets into space has long relied on stable cross-national public-private partnerships and foreign-manufactured launch vehicles. The Franco-German company Arianespace has dominated the European space launch market, benefiting from secure public funding through ESA. It has provided Europe with the heavy-lift Ariane 5 rocket and the smaller Vega rockets.

This approach has been effective in the past: for many years, Ariane 5 was one of the most cost-effective rockets available, making it the preferred launch vehicle for publicly funded scientific and security missions, as well as commercial satellites. For medium-class payloads, Europe relied on Russia’s Soyuz 2, one of the most reliable rockets ever developed.

However, in response to the sanctions imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, Roscosmos halted Soyuz launches from Europe’s spaceport in French Guiana. At the same time, Ariane 5 reached the end of its lifecycle with its final flight in 2023.
