Lol you guys thought the US government blows money on bloated projects.

At least we solved our space bloat with fix cost contracts aka spaceX….the ESA needing to making sure every country is happy will bleed money to make sure certain jobs stay in certain countries.

If europe wants to be competitive they have to switch to fix cost contracts with no strings.

Simply x money to perform y tasks.
