#Susie @ArianeGroup un concept pour tout un tas d’applications, dont les vols habités, qui pourrait être introduit sur #Ariane6 et voler sur les lanceurs (réutilisables ?) qui lui succéderont. pic.twitter.com/BCoTiyesfo

It's awesome to see the European space industry embracing reusability. My initial reaction to this news was incredibly positive. That said, I've cooled down a bit since a lot of the details seem to reject what we've learned since the 70s. It seems to be closer to the space shuttle than starship. Basically a human launch vehicle with a large satellite bay and no focus on full reusability.
