I hope this article is well peer-reviewed. Otherwise this reads as if some LLM came up with the idea

Move fast and leave things broken

Can we please call it EUtube?

Users can choose it, but it isn’t the default

The second generation of Spectrum will be larger and could potentially be reusable. As I understand this, the current version is simply too weak for all the extra components that reusability requires.

There are other companies tasked with the development of reusable rockets for ESA, though.

Some background info on the company:

Isar Aerospace was founded by former students of the Technical University of Munich, who already participated in the WARR group which also won Elon Musk’s Hyperloop competition several times.

They received fundings from (among others) Airbus, NATO and a former SpaceX executive Bulent Altan (who studied at TUM as well).

Very impressive achievement already and a real hope for European space programs and independence!
