Teams across Europe and at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, have been tirelessly conducting a test campaign that will, in 2024, end with the first launch of Europe’s newest heavy-lift rocket, Ariane 6.

In the summer, the mobile gantry was rolled back at the launchpad, revealing the huge rocket to the elements. Then, the main stage’s Vulcain 2.1 engine roared into life in a series of ‘hot fire’ tests for the rocket and entire ground system, including tank filling rehearsals, countdowns, vibration-damping water systems and more.

Tests continued on the upper-stage reignitable Vinci engine and Auxiliary Power Unit at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) test site in Lampoldshausen.

Very soon, tests will be complete, and Europe’s heavy-lift rocket will take flight.

Germany achieves what the Habsburgs, Bismarck, Wilhelm, and the socialists of East Germany did not achieve, it unites Europe, and in this union the 4th Reich is born, and unlike the other three Reichs, it does not seek the world domination, he seeks further, seeks the expansion of the universe and the colonization of space. and he seems to be the most successful. the kosmisch Reich, the 4th Reich is born, and will be raised to the stars. 🇩🇪
    "the Reich will spread throughout the universe, and its flag will be raised on many planets, and our children will grow up under many stars."
