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.

new ESA merch shops opens in two days, 13/05.

I have a t-shirt and a baseball cap from them. The t-shirt with the embroidery logo is a little thin, the blank t-shirt comes from Stanley & Stella. The baseball cap is from Atlantis Headwear - I like that it has a QR code on the tag where it shows that particular baseball cap's supply chain.

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

absolutely. makes me sad to see kids running around in NASA gear. i only buy ESA gear for my son.
-
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!"

Support and have pride in our homegrown efforts.
