>>11069998Ariane is the Honda Accord of launch systems and Delta IV Heavy is the Toyota Camry. Boring AF but impressively reliable.
Proton is like a BMW 3-series or Alfa Romeo Giulia, a hell of a lot sexier, but not too great on reliability. Falcon Heavy is a self-driving Model 3, sexy AF because of the technological quantum leap that it represents, but still without the raw sex appeal of the far more antiquated 3-series or the Alfa.
GSLV III will be the 1980s era Hyundai Accent, rough around the edges but pretty damned good for the price. Long March 5 will be some Chinese clone of a 20 year old Daewoo that's decently reliable but a little bit sketchy on safety while exuding a lingering sense of slightly frightening cheapness.
Angara will be like one of those Russian-funded concept supercars built on outdated Mercedes guts that only leads to a handful of shoddily-built prototypes that fail to deliver on its design promises before the whole company quietly goes bankrupt and disappears after the oligarch funding it got bored.
