A6 maiden launch wasn't completely successful but that hardly matters in a debate involving SpaceX.

What matters more is that it won't launch again until 2025 and will never be cheap to launch due to the expensive SRBs.

And ESA knows this - hence the spluttering of paltry funds towards cheaper vehicles.

Naturally, as every other carrier elsewhere in the world save for Falcon.
