minus-squareburble@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·20 days agoI’m not high enough to imagine that. I’d settle for them each launching monthly.
minus-squareuser134450@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·18 days agoi think for Ariane 6 the marginal cost of a launch is simply still too high to ever get to those numbers. Maybe Ariane 7 will be better in that regard, assuming they manage to make the boosters reusable.
