Nicely done 5/5
So did it burn up into the atmosphere?
Yes, it did. Landing capability is planned and will be added later. Human transportation capability will follow. If all goes like planned. But you know how it is with plans…"the best laid plans.." and so on…
avec juste une goutte d'ambition…l'europe aurait un vaisseau pour transporter ses astronautes…et aller beaucoup plus loin…
This is very exciting to finally learn that Europe actually has a space program. Kudos Europe!
