I’m happy it exists but it’s incredibly disappointing how non competitive it is. There was a lot of hubris in the project in the beginning and now it’s clear that they are years behind. Which in turn makes future funding a challenge I’m sure.

I really hope they don’t give up and manage become more ambitious.



Funding hard to lose when the end result is needed and is a strategic objective. Not funding it would make the EU depend on others and knowledge would be lost.

Interesting to think about a way how these perfectly connected people could be exchanged to some new, pragmatic generation.

Yeah, but govt could find multiple companies instead of a monopoly. Encourage domestic competition.
