Does anybody here remenber the Hermès project? It was the european space shuttle planned to take off in early 90s… THe project ended for economical reasons (and a lack of strategy). The shuttle is still cool, Is it a blobject?
When I was a teenager, I thought the European Union would have two cool outcome: a common money (it was scheduled in 1992 and supposed to be called “ECU”) and a space shuttle. We now have the money but not the shuttle… Well, it’s not a big deal since other science projects emerged but though…
