Notables:
The potential proposed use cases of "a solar electricity generator and a data centre" seem not super practical.
The acronym is atrocious: "euroPean Reusable and cOsT Effective heavy lIft transport investigation" (PROTEIN)
The rockets look cool though. I'm excited to see what Rocket Factory Augsburg can do.
