    Europe is absolutely competitive in space through ESA - they’ve got Ariane rockets, are developing Ariane 6, have the most accurate Earth observation program (Copernicus), and are major partners in the Lunar Gateway station with NASA… their challenge isn’t technical capability but rather getting enough consistent funding compared to what the US pours into NASA or what China is now investing in their space program.
