'it is his baby and he has invested a lot of HARD WORK to make it a reality'.

Why do I feel I'm being manipulated by Euronews?

Why do the Euronews reported always use a honking nasal voice and overdo the 's'? That's not any of the British dialects anyway.

Looking at their facilities you can tell you're in the 21st century, meanwhile the NASA facilities look old and decrepit ... These guys are also using new technologies like carbon fiber and electrical actuators while NASA is still stuck in the 60's making a bigger version of the Appollo capsule etc. Seem's US glory days are behind them ... :(

a smaller, cheaper, more economic rocket for smaller payloads.... Makes sense :)
