OneWeb is in deep trouble. Other than tiny Vega, Arianespace has done only 3 launches on its own rockets vs. 10 on Soyuz since 2021. Sounds like it's time for the EU to actually build a space program. The era of hard power is back.

With Vulcan waiting on years delayed BE-4 (and New Glenn on BE-4 and rest of the rocket as well), SpaceX launching Starlink constellation on its own reusable rockets is looking like the only game in town for a while.
