00:00Let's leave the government-backed rockets Ariane and Vega aside for now. The first flight
00:05of Spectrum in March 2025 ended after a few seconds with a loss of control. Crash. The
00:13end. In spaceflight it's not a big deal. In Europe though, it still always feels like
00:18one. Because Europe has gotten used to treating spaceflight like an infrastructure project
00:25over decades. Slow, cautious and political. Perfect or nothing at all. Of course, that brings
00:32a lot of advantages and disadvantages. Acer Aerospace is the opposite of that. It's a startup
00:39with an iterative approach. Build, fly, learn, repeat. Just like SpaceX, Rocket Lab or Firefly have done it.
