        French auditor says Ariane 6 rocket too conventional to compete with SpaceX

        "This new launcher does not constitute a sustainable response."

        France's independent state auditor, the Cour des comptes, has raised concerns about the viability of Europe's new rocket, the Ariane 6 launcher. In its 2019 annual report, the auditor said the France-based launch company Arianespace is also being too cautious as it grapples with competitors like the US-based SpaceX.

        "In 2017, Arianespace lost global leadership in the commercial market to the American company SpaceX," the report finds. "This competitor's business model is based on the breakthrough model of reusable rockets."

                      It's a gas main break right?

                      Isn't the fire department capable of capping or cutting off the feed?

                          If it's not nature that's trying to rid us of Cali, it's their own systems that are trying to burn the rest down.

                                No, the gas company does that. FD is not qualified to do that. There are not easy shut off valves, often times they need to excavate nearby and clamp the gas line down.

                                          Seriously I'd give Cali back if Mexico gave up that 80 miles Ive previously mentioned making a new us canal along.
