It was such a devastating and absolute dick move by Trump.

NASA before: 50% of my budget is dedicated to science ed and public outreach. Also, by law of the USA, everything I do is instantly public domain.

ESA before: i keep all my data private forever, unless NASA forces me to publish it.

NASA now: shadow of private space corps.

ESA now: hey, look, I'm not SpaceX!

Edit: I want to know more about esa before i jump in the hype train.

Same! Can we get a logo redesign, though? "eesa" always looks a bit weird and it's not helping that they made the "e"s look different from each other (and also remind me of the Internet Explorer 😬). Naso logo also screams SPACE (stars, orbiting comet) whereas eesa can be a logo for anything, really.

Truth that logo looks awful.

Why? There's a bunch of cool people at Nasa and they've done a lot of cool things

I think people wear NASA gear in Europe because it's the western default - the same way they wear Converse and Nike. Wearing ESA merch sprinkles European identity where you're used to seeing an American pop culture import. It almost feels like a play on a fashion trope - "you're used to people wearing NASA, but ha it's ESA!"

They are also working with Eutelsat on IRIS^2^ as a more cybersecure replacement for Starlink, and made for governments, defence and critical infrastructure🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
