Hermes? Built the distributed oldspace way and was canned in favor of Soyuz because it was cheaper

It's a shame that mini shuttles never had a chance.

I think it's cool. Would've been cooler if it had flown as a complete unit sooner, but better late than never.

I wouldn't be shy about it.
Pretty good, considering the funding.
I'm ashamed of what ESA does.
It's just a job program and nothing else.
They have no ambition to anything. They used to, but they don't for a few decades now.

Well isn't the ESA trying to be independent? I cant imagine they are in a position to go above current tech yet.

They did, but abandoned it when Soyuz seats were sold for much cheaper price per-seat than the European alternative.
