"Who controls space controls the future. If we want space to be a force for good, Europe must remain a leading space power. ESA Ministerial Council at the end of the year will be one of the decisive moments. To maximise the effect of our investments we need to work hand in hand." - A. Kubilius (2/3)

"Unity requires effort, vision and determination. If Europe is to succeed in space and on the global stage, we must act with urgency and purpose. We must increase investment, forge partnerships and deliver the vision that will elevate Europe to new heights. ESA is ready." - Josef Aschbacher (3/3)

Is this how "full spectrum dominance" is spelled?

How I'm translating this is
"We're going to colonize the resources of the solar system and do our best to not let anyone else *cough* the Chinese *cough* "mismanage" these resources for their own evil and uhh potentially communist ways."

"...space to be a force for good..."
What exactly does that mean lmao

Probably referring to prioritizing science, preventing other nations from militarizing and monopolizing space. But agreed it could have been clarified.

carlosernestohugo.bsky.social•26 days ago

The US and its little helper the EU want this militarization for themselves obviously. Since Reagans Starwars that is. Reiterated by the neocons in 2000.

We need not only a sovereign launchers family but also a sovereign access to space with a spacecraft. We see that near future is NOT focused on collaboration and cooperation with USA becoming a fascist country and with imperialist PRC, Europe and partners need to be self sufficient on this domain.
