The SpaceX chief boss insists his company will be launching rocket on Mars by 2030, he challenged European competitors to up their game or run the risk of becoming obsolete in a competitive world.

The SpaceX chief boss Elon Musk revealed on Tuesday that European countries needs to aim higher with its rocket technology or risk becoming obsolete in a technology era. SpaceX, which is musk's company continues to outcompete European companies,  he tweeted that SpaceX will be landing rockets and establishing a base on Mars “well before” Europe even begins to look into producing competitive rocketry. He said plainly before 2030, the company would've established a base on Mars.

Although his jab was intended at the European nations and tech experts, but business atmosphere in Europe and the United States are quite two different scenario. What SpaceX did is to “study competitive launch systems from 2030 onward, which is really cool. SpaceX will be setting up Mars Base Alpha by then. European can only compete if the union will open up European launch market to private companies, investors and competitors. But with such an absurd amount of politicians involved, result is stagnation by default.

But why not encourage rather than mock? Must we always compete as if we don't all depend upon one another, we have no business populating another planet before we have learned not to treat each other as competitors, in Europe, too many politicians, too few engineers. In ESA many people are unhappy, demotivated and don't care for what they are working on. This is caused in large by the too much management and politics. They'll probably try and fix it with more politics. Thought politics is how you fix things and the question is how democratically it can be done thus giving the people what they think is important. Maybe Europeans don't care about space and maybe when they did this would get fixed quickly.

Make no mistake, European knows they won't be competitive with Super Heavy Starship. They are basically asking what comes next after the successor to SHSS. They need to be multiple steps ahead to compete with SpaceX. The European Vega rocket started development 14 years before its first flight. It only needs to be competitive if they intend to compete for international market share but in theory the European internal market could as large as the rest of the world excluding the USA. SpaceX is creating it's own market as the existing one's are far too small any ways.

There's a vast difference between a business man using technology to amasse wealth and a union using it for a breakthrough, bragging rights and discoveries. Elon is just a business man looking for new grounds and bigger strides to further his exploit and position his tech hub for a better financial opportunities. With a leveled play ground like the United States, his limits knows no bounds. This gives him an edge above a well curtailed European tech hubs to compete.
