Is it really a moonshot project ?

ESA has plenty of experience in delivering projects like this e.g. Copernicus, Sentinel, EDRS.



The Sentinel satellites ARE the Copernicus program(me). Why are the EU spy sats, sorry, totally-not-spy-sats, so poor and so few compared to what the US has?


a) Copernicus program is bigger than just the satellites themselves.

b) What does a meaningless comparison with the US have to do with whether launching a bunch of extra satellites is considered a moonshot or not ?
