MODERATORS
At least on /r/europe on Reddit, I think because it was being launched by a European rocket from a European spaceport, so there was a lot of discussion about Arianne. The scope was extremely expensive, so rebuilding it probably wouldn't be an option, and Arianne 5 was a particularly reliable launch platform.
Amusingly, this new Euclid scope is the mirror opposite of JWST: a principally-European scope launched by an American rocket from an American spaceport.
