Helene Huby's Exploration Company advances Nyx capsule, aims for crewed flights and reusable rocket

Helene Huby, CEO of The Exploration Company, is scaling Europe's commercial space sector with the Nyx capsule, targeting orbital stations and a crewed variant, plus a reusable rocket. The company's rapid growth signals a private-sector push in European space, though technical milestones and funding remain unverified. This matters as it could reshape Europe's independent access to space and competitive dynamics with SpaceX.
