After watching so many SpaceX launches this year, it is so apparent that the Ariane-6 is archaic – there was no landing of the booster and no apparent fairing recovery. The camera views were also significantly delayed, I think they said by 20 seconds.

I am looking forward to watching the other European competitors, especially RFA, start launching.
