And SpaceX didn't build it... Strong statement so of calling Euclid not much of an achievement after it being up there for a couple of days only.

I am honetely to lazy to look up a list of ESA space missions for you, Wikipedia might have a decent overview so.



Again my complaint is not the end result isn't "impressive" in isolation it's that it's not impressive for the amount of time and money dumped into it compared to any other space program on earth. I said "for the money we pump into it".


A claim not realy supported by 2022 space program budgets so:

Based on the data shared you're right and my assertions are wrong or at least overblown. To be honest I was thinking mostly compared to the Indian space program and their recent successes and I see that the data confirms that they have pumped less money and have (imo) done way more. But overall I'm wrong in the way I was positioning this, thanks for sharing, I did some more research on account of your comments.


No problem. After all, those programs are as much about maintaining knowledge, industry and capabilities in country as they are about specific missions.
