      Talent is gone where ?

      There is talent for aerospace in Europe, with around 120 000 employees for Airbus, 50 000 for Safran plus all their subcontractor you already have a good proof that there is a pool of aerospace tangents in Europe.

      I think the talent is there but no political will to support it.

        Plus, are we imagining that no one would be willing to move to Europe to work with space rockets? It’s harder to get people to move, sure, but it’s not impossible, especially not when you can offer a healthy work-life balance as opposed to giving yourself a burnout at CosmosTwitter for a billionaire with a complex.

            Work-life balance is very important to some, and with cost-of-living adjustments the difference in money after all bills have been paid isn’t quite as big. Do get the point though, but I certainly don’t think it’s impossible, especially not if you want senior personnel who likely want to be able to spend some time with their families.

              You’d think so, but I’m not convinced. Maybe toxic workaholic culture propaganda has gotten to me, but it seems like the most impactful people enjoy long hours anyway.
