Yeah.....
Since it is still a paper rocket, I suppose they could design something to compete with Starship.... they just always seem to be aiming a generation behind.....

To be fair, Falcon 9 is 10 years old and hasn’t had a failure in 6 years, so they’re 10 years behind without even having started yet

By the time that happens Falcon 9 itself will be obsolete. ESA needs to compete with the rocket after Starship, not F9.
