A new kind of colonisation | Europe’s cards in the game of Space Monopoly

Ever since 20 July 1969, the Apollo 11 spacecraft landed successfully with its crew on the lunar mare called the Sea of Tranquility, humanity has been obsessed with space. While concentrating on smaller projects, in the previous decades, Europe silently supported the space sector, staying in the background. However, with

Újfajta gyarmatosítás | Európa kártyái az űrmonopoly játékában

1969. július 20-án sikeresen landolt az Apollo-11 űrhajó és legénysége a Hold Nyugalom Tengere nevű lávasíkságán, az emberiség pedig azóta is megszállott űrlázban ég. Az előző évtizedekben Európa csendes háttérszereplőként támogatta az űrszektort, miközben kisebb projektekre koncentrált, azonban az űrverseny újraéledésével nagyobb sebességre kapcsolt az Európai Űrügynökség is.
