Europe's Ariane-6 rocket launches | BBC News 

To put this more in perspective, Germany and France provide around half of ESAs total budget, the other 20 members the other ~half. ESA could be much bigger.

UK started it's own space agency in 2015...

This is not true. The UK is indeed a member of ESA, but it isn’t a member of the Ariane 6 program. The Ariane 6 program members are Austria, Belgium, Czechia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

That’s not entirely correct. ESA is administratively separate from the EU but the EU is a major customer of ESA, as such, the UK was excluded from many EU-ESA programs due to Brexit. Most importantly Galileo and EGNOS.

@@KentRoads any idea what happened to the british ones that were in russia 2020?

Haha

😂😂😂😂 ❤

😂😂😂 Can’t believe I didn’t spot this! Hilarious!!

Not forgetting that's recorded with a _"fisheye lens..."_

@@realtsarbomba I thought that old chestnut was retired in the 70s

@@JohnBl7167 For everything that's good and decent on this globe...flerfs should've let it retire in peace.

It's nothing but garbage they show on screens, how people actually buy the fakery is mind blowing, this is how you know we live in a dumb world, and the ones behind the fakery know the people are dumb, this is why they can get away with the fakery

Не пробил потолок. Рухнул хламом одиозным на задранные в "стену плача" головы.

And with very decent timing, considering Japan's recent launch earlier this Summer. And China's failed private launch before that.

Will it bring the stranded Americans back home?

It failed

@@DR3ADER1 With any luck, one day ESA could catch up to China with human spaceflight!

@@johnsmith-yk6yfThey aren’t stranded

Forever and always

They are well paid.

You really think that 1 minute mark image is real ? lol 💡

@@factsoverfear9771 You don't?

​@@factsoverfear9771 ironic username considering your own paranoia and distrust, dare I say fear, has led you to believe that incredible engineering accomplishments are fiction.

@@factsoverfear9771 You really are cooked, ain't ya? We've already seen similar footage like 100+ times with SpaceX... but I guess you are one of the people that don't believe rockets can land and think the spaceX ones are "pencils" with engines strapped on them made in CG. Yikes.

You know camera can be remotely operated and that electromagnetic signals such as image data can be sent transmitted and received from very long distances? That's why there was a delay in the video signal.

⁠@@jonpon-r6w No. There was several guys strapped to the rocket with handcams.. it’s pretty obvious. Stop talking about this woo doo electromagnetic signals.

​@@jonpon-r6wgo back to your cave troll.

Still, ESA didn't have their own rocket, was dependent on others, and it's able to deliver bigger payloads than the Falcon 9. And I know, it's not reusable, but still, it's a good option.

@@realEpicGold I don't know if having a costly car equipped with an old carbureted engine for the work could be called a good option, a temporary solution maybe. But hey ESA was one of many to loudly told to anybody asking that reusability in rocket industry was science fiction and keep doing it the old way, the safe way. So there is that to assume hoping they got enough client throughout Ariane 6 journey to develop their next vehicle.

it uses liquid hydrogen and oxygen as fuel so no co2

@@MANBEARPIG248 water vapor is a more potent greenhouse gas than co2, but it should quickly turn into ice crystals/rain

​@@MANBEARPIG248 but it also does have those SRB engines which aren't great... But rockets have a incredibly small impact on climate change compared to others

@@protonjinx idiotic comment.

@@DaNuker funny for someone to comment, but why you think idiotic?

Reuse is for ‘Ariane Next’

Costly refurbishment at best, reuse is a myth. The Russians have the least changed, most reliable launch system in history and not an iota is ‘reused’. That sobbing you hear in the background is the Musk fanbois realising he duped them.

They said a long time ago that it wasn't cost effective to do it. For example you must keep some carburant for they deceleration, but its the most efficient carburant you have because the rocket is really light at that moment. So you cannot go as high as you would with non reusable. Thats why they didnt use SpaceX for the jwst for example, their reusable have a hard time getting in high orbit.

arianespace (ariane 6 manufacturer) also make the french M51 ICBM so you were half right !

Any rocket, is an ICBM. And you know they, areeee,,,worried. They looking to develope their and to know what does work. capabilities. Europe is going to look to be independent,of even the dill weed Americans. They have a Hegemony, rising up in front of them.

ISRO is already doing this at a smaller level . They do not have giant rockets

They were launching into space, not an earth to earth travel. Satellites need to be in space to work.

@@akyhneyep, and the way to get into space nowadays is on top of a launch vehicle that lands back on earth ready to be reused. Except for Ariane 6. 😂

@@Fogmeister No need to laugh. One Ariane 6 launch is only a bit more expensive, than a Falcon 9 launch. So, on paper, it doesn't make much sense.

You can find that on other channels. This is the fun version for those with a casual interest

It'd good for people who arent interested in the telemetry. I am happy with this kind of commentary if it gives more attention to spaceflight, even if I personally would prefer a telemetry readout.

Fully expected of camera kms out from sea level. Both the signal delay and the vibrations can attribute to that glitch

do you have a theory as why there was a glitch there?

The glitch is part of the fakery, unfortunately the people of this very flat plane, don't have eyes to see, and no brain to understand, or should I say common sense, it's easier to fool people, than to convince they have been fooled, famous quote by a famous freemason, freemasonry runs this earth with LIES

Sorry to say it is not on par with United States

@@justcallmebrian793 why not.

no but it's still a big improvement compared to 5

No It will also not survive the upcoming price war between Falcon 9 and New Glenn. €400 million annual subsidies will increase to €1 billion guaranteed.

There's no need for reusability, unless it makes economic sense. But it's their plan to go more reusability, if the market is there.

I think we're spoiled a bit by SpaceX launches, theyre on another level.

@@kael13 sure , spacex cameras never freeze

Because it's all fake

That is correct, there is a top cover, Dome over us all, people don't have a clue of this earth we live in

*** meanwhile : spaceX exploding his 15th try of starship ***

the fuel is hydrogen + oxygen wich make water

You simply have to be joking or trolling.... no one can be that dense.

😂

There is indeed a difference when a private company wastes public funding without accountability, and a government agency has to report each penny spent.

@@pplesandorangesAnd yet, for all that wasted money SpaceX is a massively profitable company. The real sucess of SpaceX is not it's rockets, but it's buisness ideology.

@@benzene_sandwich Massive profits yes, but how much of it will fall back into the public coffers? We know where business ideology is leading us. The plus point, Europe's independence to launch its own satellites and that is priceless.

​@@benzene_sandwichSpaceX is leeching off the taxpayers money and 55 million isn't what I'd call massive profit and made 1.5 billion net loss for two years before that..

​@francinesicard464 Europe as its launched from a french colony in South America. We ignoring the rocket launch sites in the UK and goggling at the French instead like brother the private companies have had this for decades.

It's a French département 😂

You don’t miss any opportunity to show off your ignorance and brain disfunction this making a fool of yourself right here.

Ariane 6 is 1970's technology. No launch system in operation or development is more modern, unfortunately.

Cough cough *spacex vtol*

Do ICBMs carry payload to orbit?

@@harmoney-tk5wd The latest one does as their was a documentary on Russian TV

@@SOVIET-KGB-CCCP Documentary on Russian TV. Yeah that must be true because it was on Russian TV who always tells the truth.

🙄🥱

@@Steven-vo4ee 🤷‍♂Truth. Falcon heavy is already available for use and it is cheaper, can launch more cargo to space and is reusable.

Not outdated. And a Falcon Heavy costs many times the m launchof an Ariane 6 launch. And the Ariane can take a much bigger load than any Falcon.

Ariane can take a bigger payload and is much cheaper than the equivalent rocket (Falcon heavy). Get your facts right before talking shit.

​@@matt-lo8ut this 2 booster rocket can take 9920lbs to geostationary orbit falcon heavy can take 18,300. cost to launch ariane6 is $4.70/kg cost to launch falcon heavy is $1.6/kg

Compated to SpacePig: no soot, much less CO2, no wasted helium.

ESA ≠ EU ergo the UK remains a member and contributes somewhere around £2 billion a year.

No but they didn't sell people fake solar panels either.

No but it still cost less than Space X rockets

It doesn't cost less and SpaceX could probably lower their prices, but then they couldn't indirectly fund Starlink via SpaceX customers.

@@jaltyx5093 Not even close to costing less than Falcon 9. And SpaceX is rapidly developing Starship which is supposed to be much cheaper.

Russia used them to send up satellites for Iran.

CNES, in fact

Red herring claptrap.

There's infrastructure there already, good weather conditions, somewhat desolate. Wouldn't really provide any economic benefit building a platform closer to Europe. Would it in fact incur high costs.

A couple reasons, proximity to the equator and no need to risk flying a rocket over heavily populated land masses.

You'll notice that most launch sites are situated closer to the equator rather than further away. This is because of the physics of getting a launch into orbit. When you launch closer to the poles, most of your available orbits become more and more like polar orbits, stuck orbiting over the poles. From close to the equator, more orbital trajectories are possible, including geostationary ones. If you launch a rocket from the poles, no matter which direction you send that rocket, it will be travelling due North/south. It will cross the other pole and come back again. You have no options. You can't turn it 90 mid orbit, because that just costs too much fuel, more than the rocket can even carry. In addition, due to the Earth's rotation, it bulges slightly at the equator. For most people, this is irrelevant, it doesn't really change how we operate. However, when it comes to launching rockets, this has a noticeable impact in minimising as much as possible the amount of gravity that the rocket has to overcome to escape the Earth's atmosphere and reach orbit. This is due to the fact that the force of gravity you feel decreases as you move away from the object creating that gravity you are feeling.

I believe there's also new such facility in Sweden. Built only like couple of years ago, by the EU, for the EU needs. Plus French Guyana is called FRENCH for A REASON, just like EU could use any part of the huge Greenland, if Denmark agreed with it. As it's basically owned by Denmark, an EU member.

This is m'y country french Cayenne i am so proud of m'y country

🙄🥱

A space rocket for space exploration and NATO. Give us the trail from A to B please

Just WTF has a civilain satellite launch vehicle got to do with NATO other than that occasionally they will be paid to launch military satellites?

@@jonpon-r6w A. -> Alex Jones. -> B.

No 🙄

Satellites

They're transporting nothing. Just testing their new rocket. In the future they will transport satellites and other cargo for the space station and for future missions.

它兴高采烈地一边自拍一边飞出地球的家门口，在家门口附近摄摄影录录像，清闲的时候会做做一些实验然后然后向在地球的家长们提交作业。

Fanboyism is tiresome.

Imagine a state the size of Europe wanting its own launch vehicle, how odd

What, spending taxpayers money!

Actually ESA have been launching rockets since before Space X was even an idea...

Uhmm, just the Ariane 5 alone has launched since the mid 1990s. Way before Elon though he was clever. And the Ariane family dates baxk to right after Elon was a mistake.
