Ariane-6 first launch: Europe's rocket blasts off for first time

It's taken 10 years to develop and cost billions but the new launch vehicle has finally blasted off.

European launch got hit with a double whammy with the delays in Ariane-6 and the forced retirement of Euro-Soyuz after Russia went full mask-off and invaded Ukraine. Vega launch challenges didn't help.

I'm glad to see Europe having medium and heavy lift capability again even without needed reusability.
