During my time at the Space Creator Day 2023, I had the chance to do interviews with small launcher manufacturers Rocket Factory Augsburg and Isar Aerospace, and I got to look at Gate Space, who specialize in satellite propulsion.

Too many small launch companies for a market that doesn't exist and probably never will in a short-mid term.
Dayumm
Hopefully…
4:23 Finally someone that pronouces "CNES" correctly!
6:08 Why launch from North Norvway?
It is more effective to launch from near the Equator (that's why Arianespace launches from Guyana) and North Norway is as far as possible from the Equator in Europe.
I assume they have a good reason.
Great video, but there's an audio issue between 13:53 and 14:07
I would say there's progress here in the sense that they're private companies.
it's hard enough for the us to agree to fund nasa, it's impossible to convince a bunch of competing nations with competing interests and varying priorities to fund something they won't be the sole benefactors of. 😊
I've noticed this for a while now but you know how to ask some good questions for your interviews. Did you have experience with journalism (maybe in school)?
Too bad the RFA interview got corrupted. I know someone who is working on one of the payloads that will be on their first launch and would love to know more about RFA. Good luck to all these companies!
As a european I really enjoy your "whats going on on our side of the pond" content
Great reporting mate. Keep it up. EU space interest needs you as a YT face
As European, i would say that.. while i am proud of those startups, US based companies will dominate market for long time. Even simple launch locations are hard for europeans. We need either transport it far away, or use some strange techniques. So I doubt that we will be able to compete on medium/heavy launch market in near future (SpaceX, relativy, rocket lab, BO)
