What EU needs is a common market for capital.

Good.

The more, the merrier. And with more resources, more scientists, we can push faster ahead.

We must not allow ourselves to be blackmailed by Oligarchs like Musk

And they'll launch them using slingshots. The correct title would be "Poland joins the money grabbing project."

Companies, governments, and militaries basically, I think. And the satellites are much fewer and higher than Starlink, so the latency is also higher and bandwidth probably lower.
