Salut à tou.te.s,
Fifty years of working, growing and improving. Europe's Ariane space launch program is about to send its all-new Ariane 6 vehicles, the next evolution of its flagship starship, into space. In constant evolution, this new rocket is destined to open the doors to a new technological future, or simply stay up to date with the multiple ever-growing space programs around the world. (Subtitles are available in French and English by clicking on the CC button on the YouTube control bar).
Let's talk this week about why and what it means to compete for some space in space in our time.

Bonne semaine et à bientôt,
