I think the purpose of this program is to provide the ESA with independence from the Russian and American space programs, so with this in mind the IXV and its follow-on projects are going to be very interesting. Did anyone else notice how fast the Vega liftoff was? I think thats probably one of the fastest, smoothest takeoffs of any launch platform I've seen lately .. certainly impressive. |
