Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by SpaceAholic on 11-19-2012 09:59 AM Elon Musk is writing Ariane 5's [URL=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-20389148]obituatory[/URL]: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]The Californian SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk has warned Europe it must replace its Ariane 5 rocket if it wants to keep up with his company. The low prices the US entrepreneur is quoting for his new Falcon 9 vehicle mean it is winning contracts that in the past would have gone to Ariane. Mr Musk said that the cost of producing the current European rocket would kill it as a commercial entity. "Ariane 5 has no chance," he told BBC News.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>
