On Tuesday, Elon Musk (SpaceX chief) tweeted that Europe should target higher with its rocket expertise or risk becoming obsolete when the firm continues to surpass European firms, with Elon Musk mentioning that SpaceX would be launching its rockets on Mars and also establishing a base ‘well before’ Europe even starts to think about developing competitive rocketry.
Musk, the Tesla CEO, described that SpaceX will be landing Starships, a specific term used for SpaceX’s rockets, on Mars before 2030, reacting to an Ars Technica study about Europe only starting to examine competing technology from 2030.
SpaceX chief said, by that time, the company will be concentrating on the tough threshold of creating the Martian base.
Europe aiming too low – Musk
Elon Musk, in the tweet, explained that European rocket struggles are aiming very low, saying that only rockets that are ‘completely and quickly reusable’ are going to be competitive. Moreover, he said that everything else will look like a cloth biplane in the age of jets.
Three of the company’s recent reusable prototypes destroyed test runs, the recent just minutes after Musk’s team stated the mission is a success.
“study competitive launch systems from 2030 onward”
… uh, cool. SpaceX will be setting up Mars Base Alpha by then haha
Opening up European launch market to private companies would prob help. With such an absurd amount of politicians involved, result is stagnation by default

Although EU member said that space struggles often acquire state support, they are likely to appeal to commercial patrons once operational. Moreover, in a few years, the company has eaten away at the market share of Europe by cutting its prices with reusable rockets. At the same time, the alliance is still fluctuating in spite of struggles to maintain.
SpaceX chief is an honest proponent of providing humanity out among the planets. He unfolded an idea to make a Martian city in ‘our lifetimes,’ in 2016. Although he described early settlers must be prepared to die.

The company’s reusable rocketry is a significant part of creating that idea a reality given the substantial costs contained single-use ships. His Martian desires were not well received, with Lord Martin Rees (Britain’s Astronomer Royal) mentioned Elon Musk’s ideas as ‘dangerous delusion.’
Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Elon Musk that we need to focus on our planet Earth before moving to Mars.
Space travel is an exciting idea, but right now we need to focus on Earth and create a progressive tax system so that children don’t go hungry, people are not homeless and all Americans have healthcare. The level of inequality in America is obscene and a threat to our democracy. https://t.co/CbMWYnPFUx
