What has the European Space Agency ever done for you? I found that brochure in the coffee corner at work today and somehow really liked it.

Yes, it could feature even more science but as a scientist I am bound to say that - and of course colleagues from launchers, human and robotic exploration, Earth observations and all other fields do a ton of cool, ground-breaking, crucial stuff, too!

Fidesz' massive defeat comes despite:
- multiple active Russian disinformation campaigns
- the US government actively supporting Fidesz
- Fidesz owning the majority of TV & radio stations + newspapers
- Fidesz having gerrymandered the crap out of the country
- many documented cases of voter suppression & paying disinfrenchised voters for support
- Fidesz pouring unprecedented $$$ into their campaign

Feeling a little proud of my country for the first time in a while 🇭🇺
