Will it be able to compete at all costs wise, given its lack of reusability?

BBC mentioned it would probably be a decade before the ESA reaches that sort of technology.

Sorry for dumb question I haven’t been following space stuff at all. But I read a couple articles on yesterdays launch and was interested.

Niche of political points.

It is mainly "we can do it too" project now. There are lots of subcontractors, jobs and research put in to it but it won't be price competitive any time soon. It is similar to SLS programe.
