European Space Agency's (ESA) Ariane 6 rocket programme has received a significant boost in its bid to rival the dominant US space industry. In a surprise move, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has announced that his private space company, Blue Origin, will be collaborating with the ESA on the development of the Ariane 6 rocket. The partnership is seen as a major coup for the ESA, which has been struggling to compete with the likes of SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, in the global space market. With Blue Origin's expertise and resources on board, the Ariane 6 rocket programme is expected to gain significant momentum and take a major leap forward in its quest to become a leading player in the space industry.
