    supporting the ESA is not attacking NASA, no need to defend them.

          There really is, and you named them. But you forgot about all their legions of anonymous followers who would disparage NASA at their behest to sow baseless discontent.

          I would love to have an ESA jacket to go with my NASA one. I would never discourage a child from expressing interest in either organization, and I certainly would never engender tribalism in them by saying “ESA GOOD NASA BAD” or any inversion or variation thereof.

          There’s already so much of that, why add more?
