📆 Feb 2023 "We simply cannot compete with #SpaceX in the #US 🇺🇸 if we have to let everyone play along in #Europe.

From a #commercial aspect, we want the #government 🏢 to #declare what the #standards are and then get out of the way.
What you want to avoid is #regulation that locks in a specific set of technologies 🧰 as opposed to expectations for #performances of behavior.
If #policy questions “linger” too long, investors will be scared off, stymying* the company’s growth.
The present “#piecemeal, fragmented licensing approach” needs to be #streamlined. Technology’s #speed and regulation’s #slowness causes friction https://aerospace.csis.org/the-private-sectors-assessment-of-u-s-space-policy-and-law

Introducing the #SenateLaunchSystem
"the system allowed the #aerospace #industry -- who was getting billions of dollars 💰 to build [the #SLS] -- to tell Congress they could do it by that time," #Garver said, explaining that the industry knew it'd be paid the same amount 💰 every year, #regardless of delays. "There was a #reverse incentive."
#NASA Inspector General Paul Martin : "We saw that the cost-plus contracts that NASA had been using to develop that combined #SLS and #Orion system work to the contractors' rather than NASA's #advantage." https://www.cnet.com/science/space/billions-behind-a-lunar-dream-why-nasas-artemis-i-moon-rocket-may-prove-unsustainable

🇪🇺 "Normally, selecting the #launch #provider for communication #satellites that cost eight or nine figures is accompanied by a press release and plenty of celebration. That the #European #SpaceAgency, #Eutelsat, #Airbus, and #Thales #Alenia said next to nothing until the last moment says a lot about how all parties involved #really #feel about transferring three of their satellites onto #SpaceX #rockets. All three were #intended to launch on #Ariane #rockets" https://www.teslarati.com/european-spacecraft-spacex-falcon-9-launches

'You know, there is nothing we can do about #damage to the TPS. If it has been damaged it’s probably better not to know. I think the crew would rather not know.
