Ich hab jetzt auch so ein cooles @esa@feddit.nl ( @ESA@apoil.org ?) "space for all" T-Shirt 🎉
Schade dran: dunkle Teile unter dem Shirt, z.B. BH oder Binder, scheinen durch.

#Science at it's best: inspiring, collaborative, smart. Really impressive, what @esa shows in their #EUMETSAT #livestream. Only 4 min until launch of MTG-S1 Copernicus, Sentinel 4A. I must confess I am nervous. All the best!
