That's interesting but I can't find a single date relative to this | |
project - not on the website, nor while googling. When is it supposed | |
to be tested ? | |
Also the amounts of funding mentioned in the article I've found seem | |
ridiculously low (30M ??) | |

Itâs ridiculous indeed, but thatâs the budgets science needs to | |
run on. People still donât understand how fundamental this kind of | |
engineering is for our future | |

Is Europe getting their own space shuttle? That would be a wise idea. | |

Good thing you posted that, lest the occasional French visitor would | |
run into danger of having to actually learn English instead of the | |
obviously superior French that's more than enough already. | |

Well, since that is a French project it seems a bit misplaced to | |
blame the French who might want to read about it in French. | |
Also I'm pretty sure the French here on HN are more than occasional | |
visitors. | |
