Huby's vision encapsulates an ambitious thrust towards creating a European alternative to SpaceX, aiming to capture the burgeoning market for crew transportation to space.
"I have a huge admiration for what SpaceX has done," said Huby, highlighting the monumental impact of their reusable Falcon 9 rocket on contemporary space exploration.
The successful fundraising efforts, including $160 million in Series B, signify growing confidence in private European space ventures, aided by support from sovereign funds.
Despite setbacks, like the Bikini capsule's mishap, she remains optimistic, stating, "I know it's super hard, and I know it was crazy, but I wanted to try."
